What should I do first after a fire in Austin?
Make sure everyone is safe, wait for the fire department to clear the building, call your insurer, photograph the damage and protect the property from weather. Then call a restoration company. Avoid touching soot covered items and do not run the HVAC system.
Can smoke odor be removed from a home in Austin?
In most cases yes, but the residue has to be cleaned first. Deodorizing without cleaning usually fails because the source is still on surfaces and inside materials. A company may use methods such as thermal fogging, hydroxyl treatment or air scrubbing.

Often not right away. Damaged utilities, soot, structural problems and poor air can make a fire damaged home unsafe. Ask the fire department when you can enter and ask the restoration company about air quality and the condition of the building.
