Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Arlington, TX
About a third of fire & smoke damage restoration calls in Arlington turn out to be something the homeowner could fix in 10 minutes with a $12 part. We'll tell you which third. We work clean, leave the area better than we found it, and stick around to test the repair before we drive off.
The actual work
Fire damage almost always comes with water damage from the suppression effort. We handle both as a single coordinated restoration.
Soot is acidic and continues to damage materials over weeks if not stabilized fast. We pre-clean affected surfaces within the first 72 hours to lock in restoration potential.
Smoke odor permeates porous materials throughout the building, not just in the fire room. Whole-home thermal fogging and ozone treatment are standard final steps. Sometimes carpet and porous fabrics still need replacement.
Structural drying follows immediately after suppression water — same protocol as standalone water damage.
Notes on Arlington housing stock
Most weeks we run 12–18 calls inside Arlington alone. Different houses, similar fixes — we've seen yours before.
On bigger jobs we'll bring two techs. On simpler ones, just one — fewer hands, faster billing.

One we ran last year
Property manager call, Arlington-area duplex. Both units had kitchen grease fire that spread to upper cabinets, with significant smoke damage throughout the home. We pulled the system apart and found unattended cooking. Soot pre-clean, water extraction from suppression, structural drying, cabinet replacement, thermal fog deodorization, full repaint on the same trip — both tenants happy. $1334.
