The fire was extinguished, but the apartments were flooded. Specialists on how to assess the damage

Two days ago, a resonant fire occurred in a Stalin-era building on Lenin Street in Minsk. First, citizens were surprised by the scale of the blaze: the fire affected more than 1000 square meters of the attic and roof. Then, the sad consequences of extinguishing the fire became known: dozens of apartments were flooded with water.

People will have to assess the damage caused by the fire and consider what to do next. The State Property Committee explained exactly how such an assessment is carried out, writes Onliner.by.

— The Minsk City Agency for State Registration and Land Cadastre has a department of forensic examinations and valuation, — the committee reported. — Specialists determine the condition of structures after a fire or flood, record damage, and calculate the cost of restoration work. The conclusion has legal force — it can be used for insurance payments or in court.

Specialists assess two aspects: the consequences of the fire and the consequences of the flooding.

— Assessing the consequences of a fire is a multi-stage process. It is necessary to conduct an inspection and record the burning zones, assess hidden damages, and, if necessary, open up structures. All factors are taken into account: fire, smoke, water during extinguishing.

Experts determine the condition of the structures, what work is needed for restoration, and the value of the object after the incident. Here are the documents that need to be submitted: documents confirming ownership, technical passport, fire report, insurance policy (if available), technical report (if structures were opened).

— Flooding often carries hidden damage that manifests over time. The expert records visible damage and forecasts long-term consequences: plaster destruction, wiring corrosion, risk of mold. Both victims and culprits apply for the service — if they disagree with the compensation amount.

In this case, the owner is required to provide the following documents: registration certificate, technical passport, flood report, defect report (after 20 days), material receipts (if available), technical report (if structures were opened).

The State Property Committee emphasizes:

— Assessment after a fire or flood is a guarantee of an objective, legally significant conclusion. Specialists take into account direct and indirect consequences, which allows for an accurate determination of the extent of damage and the condition of the object.
