Fire and smoke damage · Soot + odour

Fire, smoke and soot restoration, from the first walk-through to the rebuilt room

Smoke and soot removal, duct system smoke removal, contents pack-out, storage and cleaning, then reconstruction, from one family company in Rowlett.

Smoke and soot travel farther than the fire did

After a fire, the flames are only part of the loss. Smoke and soot move through a house on the air, settle into drywall, carpet, upholstery and the inside of the ductwork, and keep smelling like the fire long after the char is gone. A homeowner in Rowlett or anywhere in Dallas Fort Worth often finds the odour in a bedroom the fire never touched.

The list grows quickly: water from putting the fire out, furniture and clothing that smell of smoke, and a heating and cooling system now carrying soot into every room. Paschall Restoration treats duct system smoke removal as its own service for that reason. Call 866.336.4070 any hour and the crews are on site in about an hour.

The walk-through, the claim and the pack-out

On arrival the fire specialists estimate the extent of the damage, then work directly with your insurance company. Paschall Restoration bills the insurance company direct, so the family is not holding the paperwork while the house still smells of smoke. The crews are IICRC certified, and they remove the smoke and soot before anything is rebuilt.

Belongings get their own track. Contents pack-out, storage and cleaning are part of the service, so furniture and clothing leave a smoky house, are cleaned, and wait in storage until the rooms are ready. One customer, Susan Myers, wrote that the pack-out team wrapped each piece of furniture with blankets and plastic wrap and that no damage was left on any piece.

Why a cleaned house still has to be rebuilt right

Once the smoke and soot are out, the repair, demolition and reconstruction follow, and Paschall Restoration's sister company, Paschall Construction Group, does that work from the same Singleton St. address in Rowlett. The family deals with one team from the night of the fire to the finished room instead of handing the house to a stranger halfway through.

Skipping the cleaning step is where the trouble starts. Soot left in a wall cavity or a duct can bring the smell back after the paint dries, and new flooring over a house that was never properly cleaned only hides the problem. Ask for the inspection and estimate first, call 866.336.4070, and have the cleaning done before a single finish goes back.
