Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration in Denton, TX
Most of the damage after a fire is not where the flames were. Smoke reaches rooms the fire never touched, and the water used to put it out soaks floors and walls. 911 Restoration of North Texas secures the property, deals with the water first, and then cleans, deodorizes and rebuilds what the fire and smoke reached.
We're licensed and insured, our crews are IICRC-trained, estimates are free, and we work with your insurance company from the first day.
Fire in Denton's Buildings
Apartments and shared walls. In the apartment buildings around the universities, a kitchen fire in one unit can push smoke through shared walls, attics and ductwork into units on either side. Each affected unit needs its own assessment and its own record for the owner and the tenants.
Historic wood-frame homes. The Craftsman bungalows west of the Square were built with wood framing and wood siding. Soot settles deep into old trim and plaster, and odor soaks into the wood itself, so cleaning has to go further than the surface.
Newer homes. Modern furniture and carpet burn hot and leave a heavy, oily soot. In open-plan homes the HVAC system carries it into every room, which is why we clean the ducts on a fire job as standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between fire damage and smoke damage?
Fire damage is what burned. Smoke damage is the soot and odor left everywhere else — often a much larger area. Both are usually covered on the same claim, and we document each one.
Can smoke odor really be removed?
Yes, when the residue causing it is removed from surfaces, ducts and wall cavities. Air fresheners and paint only cover it up, and it comes back on the first humid day.
What does fire restoration cost in Denton?
It depends on how much burned, how far the smoke traveled and how much water was used. The estimate is free, and we price with the same system insurance adjusters use.
