Restoration work we handle






Fire Damage Repair in Haltom City
Fire Damage Repair in Haltom City means restoring the structure, not just wiping down soot. On mid-century slab homes, that regularly includes opening walls to check studs for char, replacing compromised framing, and verifying that heat didn’t weaken the cast-iron drain lines or galvanized supply pipes running through the slab. Most structural fire repair work in Haltom City falls between $3,000 and $12,000 depending on how far the fire traveled through the framing and whether plenum or attic spaces were involved.
Structural Reconstruction and Framing
We replace charred studs, headers, and ceiling joists with dimensional lumber matched to your home’s existing framing. If fire compromised the roof decking or truss members, that gets scoped in writing before demolition starts. No surprises at the door.
Electrical and Plumbing Verification
Heat from a fire can damage Romex insulation inside wall cavities and weaken PVC or copper supply lines. We verify what’s intact and what needs replacement, then coordinate any re-piping or rewiring with the rest of the fire restoration scope, not as a change order sprung halfway through.
Fire Damage Cleanup in Haltom City
Fire Damage Cleanup in Haltom City involves more than scrubbing black marks. Soot from synthetic materials, carpet, and household plastics is acidic. Left on surfaces or trapped in the HVAC system, it corrodes metal fixtures, stains walls permanently, and spreads odor through the house. Haltom City’s hot, humid summers make this worse because soot bonds faster to surfaces in high humidity. Cleanup with thermal fogging, HEPA vacuuming, and soda blasting typically runs $2,800 – $7,500 for a single-family home.
Soot and Residue Removal
We use HEPA-filtered vacuums and dry chemical sponges for surface soot, then move to soda blasting or wet cleaning for stubborn residue on brick, concrete, and studs. Every horizontal surface, every cabinet interior, every light fixture gets addressed. The goal is pre-loss condition, not a painter’s cover-up.
Smoke Odor Elimination
Odor lives in porous materials, ductwork, and even insulation. We run ozone treatment, thermal fogging, or hydroxyl generation depending on what burned and how deep the odor penetrated. Duct cleaning and replacement of attic insulation are common line items on Haltom City fire jobs where smoke traveled through the plenum.
Trusted Brands We Service in Haltom City
We run professional-grade equipment from B-Air and Injectidry on Haltom City fire jobs, and our techs work to IICRC and RIA standards for fire and smoke restoration. B-Air air movers and Injectidry drying systems get used for post-fire water extraction and structural drying. We stock the common consumables and replacement materials needed for mid-century Haltom City homes locally, which cuts turnaround time when a 1950s or 1960s house needs matching trim, lath-and-plaster repair, or period-appropriate door replacements.

AfterCommon Fire Damage Restoration Problems We See in Haltom City Homes
- Hidden water damage in slab foundations. Fire suppression water pools and wicks through concrete, reaching under-slab plumbing that’s already corroded. Without moisture mapping through the slab, you’ll be pulling up buckled flooring six months later.
- Compromised exterior doors after a storm-related fire. Haltom City’s spring storms bring high wind loads. If a fire weakened the door frame or storm activity blew embers into the house, the replacement door needs wind-rated hardware, not a budget slab from a big-box store.
- Galvanized supply line failures on the NE 28th Street corridor. Original galvanized lines from the 1960s have corroded in Haltom City’s expansive clay soil. Fires heat these already-fragile lines, and a breach inside a wall cavity means demolition and re-piping, not a patch.
- Cast-iron drain line cracks under the slab. Heat stress plus decades of corrosion means the drain lines under your slab may crack during or after a fire. You’ll smell sewage before you see it. Our crews inspect these lines on every Haltom City fire restoration where the kitchen or bath was involved.

FAQs About Fire Damage Restoration in Haltom City
Slab foundations mean fire suppression water and any water used to fight the fire can’t drain through a crawl space. Water sits on the concrete, wicks into walls, and seeps through cracks into the under-slab plumbing. That’s why Haltom City fire restoration often requires thermal imaging and moisture mapping through the slab before we ever start cleanup. Without that step, you’re restoring surfaces while hidden water keeps damaging the structure underneath. Call (682) 900-2821 and we’ll scope the slab conditions in writing.
Yes, in most cases. If a spring storm contributed to the fire, or if the fire weakened exterior door frames, the replacement door should meet wind-load requirements for Tarrant County. A non-rated door fails during the next severe storm, and now you have wind-driven rain entering the same home you just restored. We replace with wind-rated frames and hardware as part of the fire restoration scope.
The galvanized supply lines running through the walls and under the slab. In many 1950s and 1960s Haltom City homes, these original galvanized pipes are already corroded from decades of exposure to the area’s expansive clay soil. A kitchen fire heats them, and a line that was hanging on can breach inside the wall after the fire is out. That’s why our Haltom City fire repair scopes always include a plumbing verification step.
Mold can begin colonizing within 24 to 48 hours after fire suppression water sits in Haltom City’s warm, humid air. In peak summer months, that window can tighten faster inside a closed-up house. We dry the structure with B-Air air movers and Injectidry systems immediately after the fire is out, pulling moisture from framing, drywall, and the slab before mold can take hold.
They should have some, yes. Cast-iron drain lines from the 1950s and 1960s are brittle. Heat from a fire can crack them, and once cracked, they leak sewer gas or water into the slab. A restoration crew that doesn’t understand cast-iron inspection will miss the damage. Our techs work to IICRC and RIA standards and know what heat-stressed cast iron looks like on a Haltom City slab home.
If your Haltom City home has fire damage, smoke damage, or the kind of hidden slab-level water damage that follows a kitchen fire, call us at (682) 900-2821. We’ll put the scope and the price in writing before any work starts, and we’ll stand behind the repair for a full year. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how we work on every Haltom City job.
