Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.

Douglas, AL insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

Change orders require your written sign-off — nothing gets added to the bill without it.
Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
