Our Proven 5-Step Fire Damage Process

Call Us When the Fire Department Clears the Scene

Tell us what burned, whether the power is off and whether anyone can stay in the house. We send a crew to board up broken windows and doors and tarp any opening in the roof, so rain and trespassers cannot add to your loss.

Walk, Photograph and Inventory

Before anything is moved, we walk every room with you and photograph the fire, smoke, soot and water damage. We start the contents list your adjuster will ask for, because that record is the backbone of your claim.

Get the Hose Water Out First

Firefighting leaves water in the walls, the carpet and the subfloor. We extract it and set drying equipment before the soot work starts, because wet drywall and flooring under soot get worse every day they sit.

Clean Soot and Smoke Material by Material

Soot on painted drywall, kitchen cabinets, brick and plaster each needs a different method. In older pier-and-beam houses closer to the center of the city, smoke also gets into the crawlspace and the wall cavities, so we open and treat those instead of wiping only the surfaces you can see.

Remove the Odor and Rebuild

Once the residue is gone, we deodorize what is left, clean the ductwork the smoke traveled through and seal surfaces that will be painted. Then we rebuild the drywall, cabinets, flooring and paint to match what you had.

Your Fire Insurance Claim in San Antonio, Start to Finish

check_circle
Fire and smoke damage is a covered loss under most homeowners policies. Ask your carrier about additional living expenses if you cannot stay in the house, because that part of your policy pays for where your family sleeps while we work.
check_circle
Your adjuster needs three things from us: photos of every room before cleanup, an itemized scope of repairs and a list of your damaged belongings. We build all three and send them in the format your carrier uses.

We bill your insurance company directly for the cleanup and the rebuild, so you are not paying for the work up front and waiting on a check.

If the first estimate leaves out smoke damage you cannot see yet, such as residue inside the ducts or in the attic insulation, we show your adjuster the evidence and ask for it to be added.

Frequently Asked Questions — Fire Damage in San Antonio

Can I stay in my house after a small kitchen fire? +

Sometimes. If the fire stayed on the stove and the power and the air system are safe, many families stay while we clean. If smoke spread through the house or the wiring is damaged, it is safer to leave, and the living-expense part of your policy usually pays for that. We tell you which situation you are in on the first visit.

How long does fire damage cleanup take in San Antonio? +

It depends on how far the smoke traveled and how much has to be rebuilt. A kitchen fire that stayed in one room is a much shorter job than a fire that reached the attic. After the first walkthrough we give you a schedule, and we update it as the work moves.

Should I throw out things that smell like smoke? +

Not yet. Many clothes, dishes, furniture and papers clean up well, and anything you throw away before it is photographed is harder to claim. Let us inventory your belongings first. Then we clean what can be saved and list what cannot.

Do you work on older San Antonio homes with plaster walls and wood floors? +

Yes. Plaster, old wood floors and original trim often clean up better than people expect, so we clean and treat them before we suggest replacing anything. When something has to go, we match the replacement to the rest of your house.
