A house fire doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our Katy-based crews are staged, equipped, and ready to move the moment your call comes in.

Odor that hangs around 24 hours after the fire trucks leave usually means soot has already worked into drywall, insulation, and HVAC ductwork.
Streaking around outlets, vents, or ceiling corners is a sign soot traveled through your HVAC system, not just the burn area.
Heat plus the water used to extinguish the fire is a fast track to warped floors and swollen cabinets if drying is delayed.
Smoke residue is acidic — hardware, appliances, and electronics can start pitting or corroding within 48 hours if untreated.
Ongoing coughing or headaches inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still suspended in the air.
