House Fire Restoration Austin Families Can Count On

The goal is simple: your family back home, in a house that looks right and smells like yours again. Our team at Austin Fire & Flood gets you there by handling every stage under one roof, from the overnight board-up through smoke cleanup, contents cleaning, and the final coat of paint. We’re a locally owned, family-owned, and women-owned house fire restoration company in Austin, IICRC-certified in fire damage restoration, and we’ve been helping Austinites recover since 2017.

What House Fire Restoration Covers

A house fire is really several kinds of damage at once, and our home fire restoration services cover all of them:

Emergency board-up

We cover broken windows, doors, and roof openings to keep out weather and intruders.

Firefighting water removal

Hoses can leave hundreds of gallons behind, and that water needs to come out fast.

Smoke and soot cleanup

Our professional smoke and soot removal reaches rooms the flames never touched.

Contents packout and cleaning

Belongings are inventoried, cleaned, and kept in secure storage until your home is ready.

Odor removal

Deodorization treatments target smoke trapped in drywall, framing, and soft goods.

Full rebuild

Our in-house crew handles reconstruction, so there's no handoff to a stranger halfway through.

What's at Stake Beyond the Burn Marks

Charred wood is easy to spot. The damage that costs homeowners later usually isn’t. Heat can weaken roof trusses, floor joists, and subflooring that still look sound. Water from the fire hose soaks into insulation and wall cavities, where it can warp floors or feed mold if it isn’t dried out properly. Smoke residue clings to wiring, ductwork, and the back side of drywall.

Skipping any of that shows up eventually: in a home inspection when you sell, in a smell that returns every summer, or in repairs your claim should have covered the first time. Thorough house fire damage repair in Austin, TX, means finding all of it now. Our assessments follow the IICRC S700 fire restoration standard, and our guide to professional fire restoration walks through each phase in detail.

What Families Ask After a House Fire

What should I do right after a house fire?

Wait for the fire department to clear the house before going inside. Call your insurance company, take photos, and keep receipts for hotel stays, meals, and clothing. Leave utilities off until they're checked. Our checklist of steps to take after a fire walks through the rest.

Can my family stay in the house during restoration?

After a significant fire, usually not. Air quality, open walls, and utility shutoffs make it unsafe. Many homeowners policies include coverage for temporary housing while your home is restored, so ask your adjuster about it early.

What happens to our belongings?

Contents cleaning after a house fire starts with a packout: we inventory salvageable items, clean them off-site, and keep them in secure storage until the house is ready. Anything that can't be saved is documented and photographed so it can be included in your claim.

How long does rebuilding after a house fire take in Austin?

Fires contained to a room or two often take a few weeks. Major fires that need structural rebuilding can take several months, depending on permits, insurance approval, and materials. We'll give you a realistic timeline after the assessment.

Will you deal with my insurance adjuster?

Yes. We meet adjusters on-site, handle the back-and-forth with your insurance company, and provide the photos, measurements, and documentation they need. That house fire insurance claim help comes with every Austin job, so you stay in the loop without refereeing every conversation.
