Arizona Fire Damage Insurance Claims
A fire is one of the hardest things a family can go through. The claim that follows shouldn't add to the stress — that's where we come in.
Fire damage claims are among the most complex losses a homeowner will ever file. Beyond the obvious structural damage, there's smoke and soot that reach far beyond the burn, water damage from firefighting, ruined contents and belongings, and additional living expenses while your home is uninhabitable. Each of these is a separate, detailed part of the claim — and each is easy to under-document in the aftermath of a traumatic event.
ALSP brings calm, thorough guidance to fire claims. We help you account for the full scope of the loss — structure, contents, smoke remediation, code upgrades, and living expenses — so you can focus on your family while we focus on getting the claim right.
What a complete fire claim should account for
- Structural damage and rebuild to current building code
- Smoke and soot damage throughout the home
- Water and chemical damage from firefighting efforts
- Damaged or destroyed personal belongings (contents)
- Additional living expenses while you can't live at home
- Cleaning, deodorizing, and remediation of salvageable items
- HVAC and ductwork contamination
We approach every fire claim with patience and compassion. You've been through enough — let us handle the documentation and the insurer while you take care of your family.
Why fire claims get underpaid
- Smoke damage underestimated. Soot and odor travel far beyond the burn area and require specialized remediation.
- Contents under-documented. Recreating a full inventory of belongings is overwhelming — and easy to shortchange without help.
- Living expenses overlooked. You may be entitled to housing and added costs while displaced.
- Code upgrades excluded. Rebuilding to current code often costs more than the original construction.

Fire Damage claim questions
What does fire insurance actually cover?
Most homeowner policies cover the structure, your contents, smoke and water damage from the fire, and additional living expenses while you're displaced. The amounts depend on your policy — we review it with you so nothing is left on the table.
How do I document everything I lost in a fire?
You don't have to do it alone. We help you build a thorough contents inventory and document the structural and smoke damage completely, so the claim reflects your full loss.
