Detroit’s building stock presents unique fire restoration challenges:

• Older electrical systems — Many Detroit homes have original knob-and-tube or outdated wiring that increases fire risk and complicates restoration
• Balloon-frame construction — Pre-war Detroit homes often use balloon framing, which allows fire to spread rapidly between floors through open wall cavities
• Multi-family and duplex properties — Fire in one unit affects the entire building, requiring coordination between multiple tenants, landlords, and insurance carriers
• Adjacent property exposure — Detroit’s tightly spaced housing means fire in one home often causes smoke and radiant heat damage to neighboring properties

Structural Damage
Fire compromises the integrity of building structures, often requiring significant repair and even complete replacement.

Smoke and Soot Damage
Residue and odor from fires permeates structural materials and contents, causing discoloration and potential health hazards.

Water Damage
Firefighting efforts yield water damage, which leads to mold, rot, and structural weakening.

Corrosive Substance Damage
Materials affected by fire can release acids and other chemicals that can cause erosion and worsen the damage over time.
