Fire and smoke damage


Hello guys, I had a major fire that wiped out my house. My audio gear was saved but with major smoke damage and possibly some minor water damage. The gear consist of ARC LS25 pre,  ARC PH3 phono amp, ARC D200 amp and a Teac VRDS 25x cd player. The speakers were Maggie MMG's but one got stepped on and the frame is cracked. My question to you guys is how do I go about cleaning the inside of my gear to get off any smoke or possible water that might be left on the boards. I turned all the gear on its side and just a bight of water came out of the ARC PH3. I will pull out all the tubes and clean the pins and sockets but what else do I need to do.
Thanks much,Mark

Homeowner’s insurance claims nowdays require hiring badass lawyer, because all claims get denied whether you have or don’t have particular coverages.
That’s simply false.

Indeed, were it true, you’d have a helluva case in "good faith" states, such as where I live. Denying all claims would be obvious bad faith and easy to prove - you’d be awarded treble damages and attorney’s fees.

The "secret" to collecting on an insurance claim is to document, document, document. Everything. That has to start before the loss is even incurred.
