Full Smoke and Soot Recovery
Around the Clock Respons
Locally Owned in Houston
When fire damages your Houston home or business, the work does not end when the flames are out. Our owner led team handles smoke, soot, odor, and full structural recovery so your property comes back stronger than before.
A fire does its most visible damage in the first few minutes, but the destruction does not stop when the flames are out. Smoke, soot, and acidic residues keep eating through walls, flooring, electronics, fabrics, and HVAC systems for days and even weeks after the fire. Odors settle deep into porous materials. Water and chemicals used to fight the fire create their own secondary damage. RestoPros of South Houston steps in fast to stop the cascade. We secure the structure, clean what can be saved, document what cannot, and rebuild the affected areas in house. Houston families and businesses deserve a recovery partner who treats every step of fire restoration with the same urgency as the first emergency call
Smoke residue keeps damaging surfaces, electronics, and fabrics long after the fire is extinguished. Our team identifies the type of smoke residue (wet, dry, protein, or fuel oil), then cleans each surface with the right method for that residue. Walls, ceilings, cabinetry, HVAC systems, and personal belongings are treated room by room, with damaged materials documented and replaced where cleaning is not enough.
Soot is acidic and corrosive. Left untreated, it permanently stains drywall, etches glass and metal, damages electronics, and embeds itself into porous surfaces. We use dry sponges, HEPA vacuums, professional grade chemical cleaners, and content cleaning techniques to remove soot safely. Hard surfaces, soft furnishings, and personal items are treated with methods matched to the material and the level of soot exposure.
Smoke odor is the most persistent reminder of a fire. It hides inside walls, insulation, ductwork, fabrics, and porous materials. Surface cleaning alone does not solve it. We treat odor at the source with thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, ozone treatment, and sealant application where needed. The goal is full odor neutralization, not just masking the smell.
You call, we dispatch. Our team arrives quickly to secure the structure, board up openings, tarp damaged roofing, and prevent further loss from weather, theft, or secondary water damage from firefighting efforts.
We walk the property carefully, classify the smoke and soot types, identify all affected areas, and document every loss with photos and a detailed scope report built for your insurance carrier.
We remove soot from walls, ceilings, cabinetry, and contents using the right cleaning method for each surface and material. Water and firefighting residues are extracted, and affected areas are dried using commercial grade equipment.
Thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, ozone treatment, and HEPA air filtration are deployed based on the severity of the smoke odor. HVAC systems are inspected and cleaned to prevent smoke odor from recirculating through the building.
Salvageable belongings are inventoried, cleaned, deodorized, and stored or returned to their original location. Items damaged beyond cleaning are documented for your insurance claim.
Our team handles the rebuild in house. Drywall, framing, flooring, paint, cabinetry, and finish work are restored to pre loss condition. You stay with one accountable team from emergency response through final walkthrough.

Kitchen grease fires, electrical fires, dryer fires, fireplace and chimney fires, garage fires, candle and space heater fires, and structural fires that affect entire homes. We serve single family homes, townhomes, condos, and multifamily properties throughout Houston.

Restaurant kitchen fires, retail and office electrical fires, warehouse fire damage, medical and dental office fire losses, and tenant unit fires in apartment buildings. We coordinate with property managers, business owners, and insurance adjusters to reduce downtime, document business interruption losses, and reopen as fast as possible.
Owner Greg Taylor answers the phone, not a national call center. We secure your Houston property fast to stop further loss, then handle every stage of recovery in house, from soot and smoke cleanup through full reconstruction. We document every loss thoroughly with photos and detailed scope reports for your insurance carrier, and we work directly with your adjuster to streamline approvals. Our team treats odor as a science, not an afterthought, using thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and proper sealant where needed. The result is faster recovery, fewer surprises, and a property that feels like home again, not a place that still smells like the fire.

Here are answers to common questions about our restoration services.

Within the first 24 to 48 hours when possible. Soot is acidic and starts permanently staining surfaces, etching glass, and corroding metal within hours. The faster cleanup begins, the more of your Houston property can be saved.
Most homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental fire losses, including the resulting smoke and soot damage. We document every loss thoroughly with photos, scope reports, and itemized content lists to support your Houston insurance claim and maximize legitimate recovery.
Most surfaces can be cleaned with the right methods. Painted walls, sealed wood, metal, glass, and many fabrics can be restored. Unsalvageable items are documented for your claim. Our team assesses each material before deciding what to clean and what to replace.
Untreated, smoke odor can linger for months or even years. With proper treatment using thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, ozone, and sealants where needed, odor is usually neutralized within a few days. The key is treating the source, not just spraying air freshener over it.
Yes. RestoPros of South Houston handles the full scope, from emergency board up through drywall, paint, flooring, and finish carpentry. You only deal with one contractor for the entire Houston fire recovery, not a separate mitigation crew and a separate rebuild crew.
Firefighting water and chemicals often cause significant secondary damage. We treat it as part of the fire recovery scope, extracting water, drying the structure, and addressing any mold risk created by the moisture. See our [LINK to /water-damage-restoration] for more on the water side of fire damage.
Even small fires can leave behind toxic soot, hidden smoke residue in HVAC systems, and air quality problems that are not safe for children, the elderly, or anyone with respiratory issues. We recommend a professional inspection before reoccupying any space affected by fire or smoke.
