Los Angeles Smoke Damage Inspection Services

Expert Smoke Damage Assessment for Homes & Businesses

Wildfires and structural fires leave behind more than just visible destruction—they cause lingering smoke, soot, and ash contamination that can compromise air quality and building safety. At Funguy Inspections, we specialize in comprehensive ash, and fire smoke damage inspections for residential and commercial properties throughout Los Angeles and surrounding areas. Whether you’re dealing with wildfire smoke exposure or post-fire damage, our certified inspectors provide detailed assessments to ensure your space is safe.

Why Smoke & Fire Damage Inspections Are Essential

• Health Hazards: Toxic residues from smoke and soot can cause respiratory issues, allergies, and other long-term health concerns.
• Property Damage: Ash and acidic soot can corrode surfaces, discolor walls, and damage HVAC systems.
• Insurance Claims: A professional assessment ensures you have the necessary documentation for your homeowners or commercial insurance claims.
• Indoor Air Quality: Smoke particles can remain in the air and within porous materials, requiring professional evaluation and mitigation.

Are you at risk of smoke and fire damage?

Yes, neighbors of Eaton, Palisades, and any other area affected by wildfires in the last couple of years are at risk. Soot, ash and smoke can damage houses many miles away. Evidence shows that toxic smoke and ash can travel more that 20 miles from its source. So, yes. You could be at risk and the only way to be sure is to get an inspection.
