Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration services in Austin
There's a reason fire & smoke damage restoration in Austin is mostly handled by small shops, not the big franchises: nobody beats a guy who knows the housing stock and answers his phone. What you get with us: licensed work, upfront pricing, a tech who can read what's wrong before opening up a wall.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Austin — what's typical here
From downtown Austin to the outer subdivisions, we cover the metro on standard pricing. No travel surcharge inside the service radius.
On bigger jobs we'll bring two techs. On simpler ones, just one — fewer hands, faster billing.
Recent service example
Property manager call, Austin-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. $754.
Scope of 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.
