Our process

Smoke travels. Our inspection does too.

When you have experienced a house fire, smoke damages more than the building. Photos, artwork, electronics, and furniture throughout your home can all be affected. Smoke bleeds through the smallest cracks, leaves charred soot on surfaces, produces foul odors, and releases toxic fumes that linger long after the visible damage is addressed. Restoring a fire-damaged property is a multi-step process of systematic cleaning, treatment, and repair.

Did you know that you could have smoke damage without having fire damage in your home?

Smoke spreads even to areas that the fire never touched. A small, contained fire can produce a large volume of smoke, and when smoke damage is overlooked or handled incorrectly, the effects can remain in your home for years.

Before you attempt to remove smoke odors yourself, consult a professional. Premature or incorrect cleaning can make odors harder to remove and cause additional surface damage. Different types of fires require different treatment: a kitchen grease fire requires a completely different approach than a chemical or electrical fire. We work directly with your insurance carrier to manage billing and documentation throughout the restoration.

“Ryan is a legend! Half my house flooded and the flooring, baseboards, and door frames had to be removed. He was at my place within an hour with all the equipment and info on how to file an insurance claim, then turned up the next day with a team to get things going. His communication is on point. So reliable. Saved my sanity!”

“Call Ryan with Total Restoration if you ever have a water issue at home or the office. I've used them three times and each time Ryan and Jason responded quickly, same day on the job. They work seamlessly with my insurance and were compassionate toward my tenants. Even my insurance adjuster said he loves working with this company.”

“I can't say enough about how Total Restoration of Texas helped me through the remediation process after the water heater in my attic leaked. I had used a big franchised company before, but by the time they called me back, Total Restoration had already completed the project. Their crew, led by Ryan Cook and Daniel, was amazing.”

Fire restoration FAQ

Fire & smoke damage questions, answered

What should I do immediately after a fire in my home?
Call us before you attempt any cleanup yourself. Soot and smoke residue are acidic and can permanently etch surfaces if disturbed incorrectly. We will secure the property, assess the full extent of damage including hidden smoke infiltration, and coordinate with your insurance adjuster from day one. Attempting cleanup without the right agents can make smoke odors and staining significantly worse.
Can I have smoke damage even if the fire did not reach my room?
Yes. Smoke travels through the smallest cracks and gaps in walls, floors, and ceilings, spreading soot and odor far beyond the area where the fire burned. A kitchen fire, for example, can deposit smoke residue in bedrooms on the opposite side of the house. We inspect the entire property, not just the visually damaged areas.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover fire and smoke damage restoration?
In most cases, yes. Fire and smoke damage is a covered peril under nearly all standard homeowner's insurance policies. We work directly with your insurance carrier, provide full documentation of all damage, and use Xactimate, the same estimating platform your adjuster uses, so our scope and pricing align from the start. Most of our customers pay only their deductible.
How long does fire and smoke damage restoration take?
The timeline depends on the scope. Smoke-only damage to a single room can be addressed in a few days. A fire that caused structural damage to multiple rooms may take four to eight weeks for complete mitigation and rebuild. We give you a detailed timeline before any work begins and keep you updated as restoration progresses.
Can you save my furniture, electronics, and personal belongings?
Often yes. We provide full contents restoration services including professional cleaning, deodorizing, and secure off-site storage during the restoration process. Electronics, photos, artwork, and furniture all receive specialized treatment. Items that cannot be restored to pre-loss condition are documented for your insurance claim.
Why does smoke smell come back even after cleaning?
Standard cleaning removes surface soot but does not eliminate smoke particles embedded in porous materials like drywall, insulation, wood framing, and soft contents. We use ozone deodorization and thermal fogging, processes that neutralize smoke odor at the molecular level rather than masking it. That is why professional restoration eliminates odors that DIY methods cannot.
