24/7 Emergency Help for Fire and Smoke Damage in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW)
Experiencing a fire in your home or business can be overwhelming and life-altering. Fire moves quickly, causing major damage in just minutes—burning structure, contents, and leaving you with not only the obvious destruction, but also harmful smoke, soot, and water all over from firefighting efforts. These problems don’t just affect homes—they impact commercial spaces and industrial buildings as well. Soot and smoke are acidic and can damage surfaces even after the fire is out, while smoke odors and water damage make a space hard to live or work in.

Our certified team is equipped to deal with all aspects of fire and smoke damage, serving residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

Types of Fire Damage We Handle
While you can't always prevent water damage, you can know what to look for. Here are some common sources of water damage for homeowners and businesses across DFW:
- Direct Flame Damage: Flames can destroy materials and structural elements, threatening the integrity of your home or building.
- Soot and Smoke Damage: Soot is a dark, powdery substance that sticks to everything and is often acidic, leading to staining and corrosion if left alone. Smoke works its way deep into porous surfaces, creating long-lasting odors that are hard to remove without professional help.
- Water Damage: Firefighters’ efforts to save your property can leave behind a lot of water, soaking drywall, insulation, and floors—setting the stage for mold and more damage if not dried quickly.
- Heat Damage: Even areas untouched by fire can be harmed by extreme heat—causing plastics to melt, metal to warp, and other materials to weaken.
- Chemical Contamination: Many everyday materials release toxic chemicals when burned. Proper cleanup is important to make your property safe again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Damage Restoration
What should I do right after a fire?
Once the fire department says it’s safe, call your insurance company first, then reach out to BOR of Denton for help. Don’t re-enter the property until a professional says it’s safe, and avoid touching anything as soot can set quickly.
Can I clean up fire damage on my own?
No. Cleaning up after a fire is complicated, requires training and specialty equipment, and can make things worse if not handled correctly. There are also health risks from lingering contaminants.
How long does fire restoration take?
The answer depends on how extensive the fire was. Small fires may require just a few days, but larger or more severe damage can take several weeks or even months. We’ll provide a clear, realistic timeline after our inspection.
Will my belongings be salvaged?
Many of your possessions may be restorable. Our technicians will thoroughly assess furniture, electronics, and documents, and do their best to clean and bring them back to pre-loss condition.
Does insurance cover fire damage restoration?
Most standard policies for homes, businesses, and industrial properties cover restoration and repairs after a fire, including water and smoke damage. We will work directly with your insurance adjuster to make the process as smooth as possible.
Why does calling a professional matter?
After a fire, your property may be unsafe, and the risks aren’t always obvious. Tackling fire damage on your own can be hazardous—and might lead to incomplete repairs or more long-term issues. Here’s why professional restoration matters:
• Checking Structural Safety: We examine the building to determine what’s safe and what needs to be repaired or replaced—protecting everyone who enters.
• Soot and Smoke Properly Removed: Our team uses special techniques and cleaning agents to remove even stubborn soot and smoke without harming your belongings or the building.
• Odor Removal at the Source: Smoke odors can stick around for years if not properly treated. We use technologies like thermal fogging and ozone generators to break down odors so they’re truly gone, not just covered up.
• Water Damage Management: Any water used to put out the fire must be extracted and the property dried immediately to prevent mold. Our equipment and expertise get the job done efficiently.
