Fire and Smoke Restoration in Flower Mound, TX
Flower Mound sits in the Cross Timbers, and plenty of homes here are surrounded by mature oaks and open land. It’s a beautiful place to live. But long, dry Texas summers, backyard grills and wood-burning fireplaces all bring some fire risk with them.
When a fire does happen, DFW Restorations is here to help. We offer fire and smoke restoration in Flower Mound TX for houses, townhomes and local businesses, and our team is available around the clock.
Fires We Often See in Flower Mound
Number 1? Fireplaces and chimneys. Creosote accumulates inside a flue over time and a chimney fire can actually push smoke into wall cavities and the attic. Number 2? Outside. Close proximity of a grill to house siding or a brush fire on a hot dry windy day can also char your home exterior and draw smoke inside through vents and various open points.
And naturally, there will be fires in the building as a result of cooking, electrical faults or dryers, just like any other place.
Little & often A neat chimney, a safe distance of barbecue from the home and tidy fencing lines with no dry foliage all help. But the quicker you react to a situation, the more of it you can save.
Not All Smoke Is the Same
A quick, hot fire provides dry, powdery soot that’s easy to vacuum and wipe. A slow, smoldering fire-that occurs when a fire creeps through a chimney or a wall cavity-eats soot that’s sticky and smeary, with an even greater odor. We first figure out which kind you have before we get to work, as the method of cleaning can be counterproductive.
How We Bring Your Home Back
We board up the property, extract any residual firefighting water, and evaluate all of the rooms in the property. The soot on the walls, ceilings and contents are cleaned, the odors are treated at their sources, and the air ducts are cleaned if smoke infiltrated them. Then, our reconstruction team rebuilds what the fire has torn down, including framing, drywall, trim, paint and floors.
You’ll be assigned a single representative from start to finish, and we document everything for your insurance claim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to stay in my home after a small fire?
It depends. Soot and smoke residue can irritate the lungs, especially for children, older adults and pets. We’ll help you judge whether it’s better to stay elsewhere for a few days.
Do you handle exterior smoke damage too?
Yes. We clean siding, eaves, decks and outdoor surfaces stained by smoke from a nearby or outdoor fire.
What about my belongings?
We can pack out contents, clean them off-site and return them once your home is ready.
How soon can you start?
As soon as the fire department releases the property. We can usually begin with board-up and water removal on the first visit.
