Full-Service Fire Damage Restoration in East Texas

From the moment the fire is out, we take over. Wet To Dry handles board-up, soot and smoke removal, contents care, water damage from firefighting, odor neutralization, and rebuild, so you are not juggling contractors during the hardest week of your year.

Emergency Board-Up and Site Safety

Secure broken windows and doors, stabilize hazards, and protect the structure from weather, animals, and unauthorized entry.

Soot and Smoke Residue Removal

Careful removal of soot and smoke residue from walls, ceilings, floors, HVAC, and contents using the right cleaning method for each surface type.

Contents Cleaning and Pack-Out

Inventory and carefully pack out salvageable belongings, then clean, deodorize, and store them off-site until your home is ready.

Odor Removal and Deodorization

Targeted deodorization with hydroxyl generators, ozone treatment, and thermal fogging to neutralize smoke odors rather than mask them.

Water Damage from Firefighting

Suppression efforts leave a lot of water behind. We extract it quickly, dry the structure, and prevent the secondary damage and mold that often follow.

Structural Repairs and Reconstruction

Drywall, framing, flooring, and finish work to return the property to pre-loss condition, coordinated under one project manager.

The Wet To Dry Fire Damage Restoration Process

A structured process aligned with IICRC fire and smoke restoration guidance. Each step is documented with photos and scope notes so your insurance carrier gets what they need.

1

Immediate Response and Site Safety

Our 24/7 dispatch team mobilizes quickly. On arrival, we board up openings, identify structural hazards, and make the scene safe before cleanup begins.

2

Damage Assessment and Scope

We inspect every affected area, classify the soot and smoke types, inventory contents, and document everything with photos for your insurer.

3

Water Extraction and Drying

When firefighting has left water in the structure, we extract it and begin drying with commercial air movers and dehumidifiers to prevent mold.

4

Soot and Smoke Residue Cleanup

Surface-by-surface cleaning using the right method for each material. HVAC inspection and cleaning when smoke has traveled through the duct system.

5

Deodorization

Multi-stage odor treatment with hydroxyl generators, ozone, or thermal fogging depending on severity. We verify neutralization, not just masking.

6

Repairs and Final Walkthrough

Reconstruction, paint, and finish work. We close out with a walkthrough so you can confirm the property is restored to pre-loss condition.

Soot residue is acidic and can cause permanent damage within hours. Improper wiping can drive it deeper into surfaces. Call us first.

Fire Damage Restoration FAQ

What East Texas homeowners ask most in the first 48 hours after a fire.

Yes. Board-up is usually the first task after the fire department releases the scene. We secure broken windows and doors, tarp compromised roof sections, and stabilize hazards so the property is protected from weather and unauthorized entry while the full restoration plan comes together.
In most cases, yes. We remove soot and smoke residue from surfaces, clean affected contents, and apply multi-stage deodorization with hydroxyl generators, ozone, or thermal fogging as the situation requires. The goal is neutralization at the molecular level, not a cover-up scent.
Yes. Fire suppression leaves significant water in most structures. We extract standing water, set up commercial air movers and dehumidifiers, and monitor moisture levels until materials reach their dry standard, which prevents secondary damage and mold growth.
Yes. Fire losses are often the biggest claim a homeowner will ever file. We document everything with photos and detailed scope, provide clear estimates, and coordinate directly with your insurance adjuster, which takes a lot of pressure off you during an already stressful time.
Timing depends on severity. Minor smoke damage with limited water may take 2 to 4 weeks. Major structural fires with significant reconstruction commonly run several months. Once we complete the assessment, we will give you a clear timeline and ongoing status updates throughout the project.
Often, no. Even after the flames are out, soot, smoke residue, and compromised air quality can pose real health risks, and structural damage may not be obvious. Your local fire department will give you an initial safety determination, and we can provide additional assessment. Many homeowners stay with family or in temporary lodging covered by their insurance policy during the work.
