If you are aware of the types of fire damage, you can file for the appropriate insurance claim and also ensure that the renovation process is thorough. Generally, reparable fire damage can be classified into three categories. These are the following:

* There is some amount of smoke damage throughout the property and layers of soot cover extensive parts. These may be caused by a stove or a pot overheating and catching fire. The smoke that is thus produced gets charged electro-statically and clings to everything that comes on its path. Smoke from fire does not spare the walls and ceiling too.

* Damages are more severe if the fire manages to goes through the ceiling and come in contact with the trusses supporting the roof of the building. In some cases, the trusses may also get burned. In such instances, one or two rooms in the house, usually those in close proximity to the fire, may also be extensively damaged.

* In the third case, the interior of the house is affected extensively and the roof has been burned completely at many places. These are usually expensive to repair. Sometimes, fire may also harm the structure of the house and this may not be apparent readily. The damages need to be detected thoroughly before the renovation starts.
