Fire Damage Restoration Services in Lewisville, TX

Whether a kitchen fire filled your Lewisville home with smoke or a structural fire displaced your family, the path back starts with stabilization: board-up, water removal and soot cleaning. Water Restoration puts you in touch with local crews who handle every phase, from the first tarp to the final coat of paint, and who document everything for your insurance claim.

That mix means crews here see everything from original plumbing in older homes to builder-grade supply lines failing in houses less than a decade old. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk.

What Lewisville fire restoration crews respond to

Every property type in Lewisville has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove. Cooking remains the leading cause of home fires here, as it is nationwide.

• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Grass and brush fires that spread to fences, outbuildings and homes
• Candle and holiday decoration fires
• Small fires that were extinguished quickly but filled the house with smoke
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Kitchen and cooking fires, the leading cause of home fires
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms

Soot, odor and water: three clocks running at once

Three forms of damage continue after the flames are out. Soot residue corrodes and stains surfaces progressively. Odor molecules migrate deeper into porous materials. And suppression water, often hundreds of gallons, swells, delaminates and eventually grows mold in everything it touched. Early stabilization changes what can be saved.

That is why restoration companies in Lewisville aim to be on site within a day or two of the fire even when reconstruction will take months. Board-up protects the property; extraction and drying stop the water damage; and the first cleaning pass removes the most corrosive residue.

Our fire damage restoration process in Lewisville

1. Dispatch and assessment. A local crew confirms the property is safe to enter and plans the stabilization.
2. Board-up, tarping and security. Windows, doors and roof openings are sealed against weather, animals and intruders.
3. Suppression water cleanup. Extraction and drying equipment address the water left by firefighting.
4. Structural cleaning. Walls, ceilings, cabinets, fixtures and the HVAC system are cleaned using methods chosen for wet, dry or protein smoke.
5. Contents inventory, pack-out and cleaning. Salvageable belongings are documented, cleaned on or off site and stored; non-salvageable items are listed for the claim.
6. Odor removal with thermal fogging, hydroxyl or ozone and sealing of structural surfaces, followed by full reconstruction.

Contents: what is cleanable and what is not

More than most people expect. Glass, ceramics, metal and sealed wood clean well. Many textiles are restorable with specialty laundering and ozone. Electronics that were not exposed to heat can often be cleaned and tested, and documents and photos can be freeze-dried. Items generally not salvageable include food and medicine exposed to heat or smoke, melted plastics, mattresses, particleboard furniture and heavily sooted drywall and insulation.

Pricing, estimates and insurance claims

The cost of fire damage restoration depends on the size of the fire, the type of smoke residue, how far it traveled through the building and how much of the structure and contents can be cleaned rather than replaced.

Fire and smoke are covered perils in essentially every homeowners and commercial property policy, and most policies include additional living expenses if the property cannot be occupied during repairs.

Ask the crew to walk you through the estimate and the claim process; good documentation from day one is the best way to get a claim paid.
