Fire damage restoration is one of the most complex and time-sensitive restoration services. After a fire is extinguished, smoke and soot continue to cause damage for hours and days. Acidic soot etches metal fixtures, glass surfaces, and stone countertops within hours of exposure. Smoke odor penetrates porous materials including drywall, insulation, wood framing, and fabric.
Texas Restoration Group provides comprehensive fire and smoke damage restoration services for residential and commercial properties throughout Austin and Central Texas. Our IICRC-certified Fire and Smoke Restoration Technicians (FSRT) respond 24/7 and begin the restoration process immediately.
The fire restoration process begins with emergency board-up and tarping to secure the structure and prevent weather intrusion. We then conduct a thorough assessment to document all fire, smoke, and soot damage with photos and written reports for your insurance adjuster.
Smoke and soot removal requires different techniques depending on the type of fire. Protein fires from cooking leave a thin, varnish-like residue that is difficult to see but produces strong odors. Synthetic fires from plastics and synthetics produce heavy, oily soot. Natural fires from wood and paper produce dry, powdery soot. Our technicians identify the soot type and apply the appropriate cleaning chemistry and technique for each surface.
Structural repairs address fire-damaged framing, drywall, insulation, flooring, and roofing. We coordinate with licensed subcontractors for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC repairs as needed. Our project managers oversee the entire restoration from emergency response through final walkthrough.
Smoke odor elimination uses thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ozone treatment to permanently neutralize odor molecules rather than masking them. HEPA air filtration removes fine smoke particles from the air throughout the restoration process.
We work directly with your insurance company and provide complete documentation to support your claim. Most fire damage claims are fully covered by homeowners insurance. Call (512) 215-8001 for 24/7 emergency fire restoration response in Austin TX.
