Fire Damage in Castle Hills: What You Need to Know

Castle Hills sits just minutes from Doan Restoration's office near I-10 and Wurzbach Rd, so when a fire hits one of the city's 1950s–1960s ranch homes, we are among the first restoration crews who can be on scene. After six decades, original panels and wiring in these homes are a leading fire source — we handle board-up, soot and smoke removal, odor elimination, and complete reconstruction.

Most Castle Hills ranch homes were wired in the 1950s and 60s for a fraction of today's electrical load — undersized panels and aging circuits are a recurring source of house fires here.

Do you handle dryer-vent fires in Castle Hills? +

General Fire Damage Questions

How quickly can you respond to fire damage in Castle Hills? +

We respond within 60 minutes to Castle Hills and surrounding areas. Our first priority is securing and boarding up the property to prevent secondary damage.

Does insurance cover fire damage restoration? +

Yes, fire damage is typically covered by homeowner's insurance. We work directly with your insurance company, handle all documentation, and bill them directly.

How long does fire damage restoration take? +

Timelines vary based on severity. Minor smoke damage may take 1–2 weeks. Significant structural damage requiring reconstruction can take 2–6 months.

Can smoke damage be fully removed? +

Yes, with professional equipment and techniques. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators to eliminate smoke odor and residue completely.

Is it safe to enter my home after a fire? +

Do not enter until the fire department has cleared the structure. Smoke residue, weakened structures, and toxic byproducts can pose serious health risks.
