Fire damage does not end when
the flames are out.
Heat, smoke, soot, odor, water, and firefighting activity can affect the structure, systems, contents, and indoor environment throughout a property. Our licensed West Virginia public adjusters apply this process to property losses throughout the state.

Complete claim documentation
Every affected part of the loss deserves attention.
Visible burning may be confined to one area while smoke and residue travel through rooms, cavities, ductwork, electronics, textiles, finishes, and contents.
UCAG documents direct fire damage and resulting conditions, reviews cleaning versus replacement decisions, and organizes building, contents, displacement, and business-loss evidence.
What a complete review may include
The damage may extend beyond what is immediately visible.
Applicable coverage depends on the cause of loss, the policy, and the documented facts.
Smoke & Soot
Residue, staining, corrosion, odor, and contamination across surfaces and contents.
Water & Suppression
Damage from hoses, sprinklers, extinguishing agents, and emergency access.
Electrical & Mechanical
Wiring, panels, appliances, HVAC, ductwork, electronics, and equipment.
Contents & Inventory
Cleaning, restoration, replacement, storage, pack-out, and detailed inventories.
Displacement & Operations
Temporary housing, loss of use, business interruption, and extra expense.
Cause. Scope. Documentation.
The details determine how the claim should be presented.
UCAG documents direct fire damage and resulting conditions, reviews cleaning versus replacement decisions, and organizes building, contents, displacement, and business-loss evidence.
We review the available policy and evidence before explaining what appears supportable. We do not assume coverage, promise a result, or force every loss into the same template.

Watch for these warning signs.
The scope is limited to the room where flames were visible.
Cleaning is proposed without testing whether materials can be safely restored.
HVAC, ductwork, electronics, or hidden cavities were not evaluated.
Smoke odor and residue in adjacent areas were treated as cosmetic.
Contents were grouped broadly instead of inventoried and valued individually.
Code upgrades, demolition, debris, or temporary expenses were omitted.
The UCAG approach
We build the claim around the evidence.
Policy Review
We identify relevant coverages, limits, deductibles, duties, and deadlines.
Damage Inspection
We document affected areas, related damage, and items requiring further evaluation.
Claim Preparation
We organize estimates, photographs, inventories, reports, and supporting records.
Carrier Advocacy
We present the claim, answer questions, and negotiate disputed scope and value.
UCAG does not guarantee coverage or a particular outcome. Every claim depends on its policy, facts, documentation, deadlines, and applicable law.
