Complete Fire Damage Restoration Services
Soot works its way into insulation, ductwork, and hidden spaces. Without professional removal, it can keep spreading odors throughout your home for months, damage HVAC equipment, and create air quality problems.
At HTS Restoration, we respond 24/7 to handle complete fire damage restoration. We remove soot, clean up smoke damage, eliminate odors, and rebuild what was destroyed. When you call, we arrive, assess the damage, clear debris, and walk you through the process.
What To Do After a Fire
The moments immediately after a fire are critical. Your property is unstable, dangerous, and exposed to weather. Making the right moves now prevents more damage and keeps your family safe.
Here’s what to do right after a fire:
- Wait for fire officials to declare the property safe. The building may still be dangerous, with unstable floors, live electrical wires, or hidden fire hazards.
- Let professionals assess and document damage before the cleanup begins.
- Open windows and doors to clear the smoke if it’s safe. If you see heat, active flames, or an unstable structure, stay out.
- Stay out of affected areas. Walking through damaged spaces embeds soot deeper into carpets and upholstery.
- Take photos and videos of all damaged items. Your insurance company needs to see the full extent of the damage to approve your claim.
- Call HTS Restoration immediately for professional fire damage cleanup and restoration.
Don’t attempt DIY cleanup or cover up fire damage. Professionals need to assess everything first to get the restoration right and keep your insurance claim solid.
Once you call us, here’s what happens next.
Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
Our fire damage restoration process covers everything you need: assessing damage, removing debris, eliminating smoke and odors, cleaning, salvaging belongings, rebuilding, and managing insurance.
Emergency Assessment & Inspection
When we arrive, we assess the fire, smoke, and soot damage, plus any water damage from firefighting.
We use advanced equipment to detect damage you can’t see and understand the full scope of what we’re dealing with. This assessment guides our entire plan moving forward, because missing hidden damage can cause problems months later.
Fire Damage Cleanup & Debris Removal
The first step of our fire damage cleanup process is clearing out burned debris and covering broken windows and doors with boards to protect your property from weather damage and break-ins.
This happens quickly so we can move on to the detailed restoration work without risking further damage.
Professional Soot Removal & Smoke Damage Cleanup
Soot gets everywhere, so we use heavy-duty vacuums and chemical sponges to clean your walls, ceilings, floors, and HVAC system.
This step removes all visible smoke damage, but we follow up with deeper cleaning to catch what you can’t see.
Smoke Odor Removal & Smoke Damage Repair
Smoke odors and smoke damage don’t just sit on the surface. That’s why we use ozone generators and thermal fogging to kill odors and repair damage at the source rather than just masking them.
One-time treatments aren’t enough, and we make sure odors stay gone for good.
Deep Cleaning & Sanitization
We deep-clean everything with EPA-registered cleaning products to remove soot residue, bacteria, and other harmful chemicals left by the fire and smoke.
This makes your property safe and sanitary, not just clean-looking.
Professional Contents Restoration
Contents restoration is a specialty of ours. We restore what we can: photos, furniture, documents, electronics. We work to recover items that matter to you, and many items that look ruined can actually be recovered and restored.
Reconstruction & Structural Repairs
Licensed contractors do all necessary repairs: walls, flooring, roofing, windows, and more, restoring your property to the way it was before the fire.
Whether it’s minor repairs or a full rebuild, we do it all.
Final Smoke Damage Restoration Check
We walk through the finished work with you and your insurance adjuster to make sure everything meets standards and all the paperwork is complete.
You’re left with a finished claim and complete records of everything we restored. That’s our process from start to finish. Here’s what makes us different.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions we get from El Paso residents.
How quickly should I call for fire damage restoration after a fire?
Call us immediately after fire officials declare your property safe to enter. The longer you let smoke and soot sit, the worse the lingering damage will be. This is because soot is acidic, meaning it continues to eat away at walls, glass, and other surfaces long after the fire’s out. Odors from smoke penetrate everything from insulation to HVAC systems. Time is of the essence, and we’re here 24/7 for quick calls to assess fire damage cleanup.
Can smoke odor be completely removed from my home?
Yes. However, it requires special equipment and professional cleaning. Remember, smoke odors don’t simply sit on the surface. They seep into walls and other porous materials in your home. We use ozone generators and thermal fogging to get rid of odors at the molecular level. We’re not masking them with air fresheners. Simply wiping away surfaces doesn’t work, as the smoke odors will continue coming back every time the house heats up or has high humidity.
Will my belongings be salvageable after fire and smoke damage?
We can restore many items after fire damage. We can clean and restore your furniture, electronics, documents, photos, and personal belongings using equipment and specialized techniques. Don’t worry, many items that look completely ruined can be restored. But if items have melted or have been exposed to soot and smoke for too long, they may need replacing. We’ll let you know if they’re salvageable or not.
