Get your free estimateFast, Reliable Fire Damage Restoration Across Plano
Fire damage restoration in Plano typically runs $2,800 to $14,500 depending on how far smoke traveled and how much water the fire department used. We get to Plano homes fast, usually within 60 to 90 minutes of your call. The first 24 hours matter most in this climate, and on slab foundations you have a second problem most companies never check: the water from firefighting doesn’t just sit on top of the floor. It can travel under it. Call (940) 468-1166 and we’ll walk you through what happened, what needs to happen next, and what it will cost before any tool leaves the truck.
Why Dryden Restoration Dallas Is Plano’s Preferred Fire Damage Restoration Company
We’ve worked Plano’s brick veneer homes long enough to know the ones built after 1980 hide their water damage differently than anything in older Dallas neighborhoods. The slab-on-grade construction means water from fire suppression doesn’t just pool on the surface. It follows the clay. Our crews run sub-slab moisture mapping on every Plano fire job as standard practice, because skipping it is exactly how a “complete” restoration turns into a mold problem six weeks later. Plano homeowners call us back for a second fire or a storm-related loss, and that tells us more than any marketing line could.
Every technician who shows up in Plano is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. You’ll know exactly who’s at your door. We give you a written price before work starts, not a verbal range that shifts once the drywall comes off. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work in writing: if a repair fails within a year, we return and correct it at no charge. Carl Brandt, our owner, holds every Plano job to that standard.
Restoration work we handle






Fire Damage Restoration Company in Plano
A Fire Damage Restoration Company in Plano has to handle two disasters at once: the burn itself and the hundreds of gallons of water used to extinguish it. On Plano’s slab-on-grade homes, that water becomes the hidden threat. It soaks into wood framing, wicks behind brick veneer, and seeps under tile into the clay soil below. We identify every affected area with thermal imaging and moisture probes before writing your scope. Nothing gets missed. Nothing gets oversold.
Sub-Slab Moisture Mapping
Plano’s post-1980 tract homes sit on expansive clay. When firefighting water penetrates through the slab, the clay holds it and slowly releases it back into your framing for weeks. We map moisture below the slab and run structural drying with Dri-Eaz and Injectidry systems until everything is stable. This is the step most restoration companies skip, and it’s the reason Plano homeowners sometimes get hit with secondary water damage months after a fire. We don’t let that happen.
Emergency Board-Up and Structural Repair
Before cleanup starts, your home needs to be secure. We board up broken windows and damaged roof sections the same day we arrive in Plano. Then we assess structural damage to studs, joists, and trusses. If wind-rated doors or windows were broken by the fire, we scope replacements that meet Plano’s current storm-load requirements. Rebuilding to pre-loss condition means restoring to code, not just to what was there before.
Smoke Damage Restoration in Plano
Smoke Damage Restoration in Plano is a fight against something that moves through walls like air itself. Smoke doesn’t stop at the room where the fire started. It travels through wall cavities, electrical chases, and attic spaces, depositing soot and odor deep inside materials. In a Plano summer, heat and humidity push that odor into everything porous. We use HEPA vacuums, dry-chemical sponges, and thermal fogging to pull the smoke back out. Then we seal what can’t be cleaned.
Whole-Home Odor Neutralization
A lingering smoke smell weeks after a Plano fire usually means residue is trapped inside wall cavities or under the slab. We use ozone generators and hydroxyl systems to neutralize odor molecules rather than just masking them. The process takes two to three days in most Plano homes. After that, we run air scrubbers for 48 hours and test with a photovolt meter before we sign off. If the meter still reads smoke, we keep working.
Content and Fabric Cleaning
Furniture, clothing, linens, and kitchenware all absorb smoke. We pack out restorable items, clean them in our Dallas-Fort Worth facility, and store them until your Plano home is ready. Items that can’t be saved are documented with photos and itemized for your adjuster. You get a full inventory list, which makes the insurance process move faster than trying to reconstruct a loss from memory.
Trusted Brands We Service in Plano
Plano homes have a lot of Dri-Eaz, Injectidry, and Phoenix equipment keeping them dry after a fire, and we service all of it. We also carry replacement parts for XPOWER and B-Air air movers locally, so we can swap a failed unit the same day instead of waiting on a distributor shipment.

AfterCommon Fire Damage Restoration Problems We See in Plano Homes
- Water under the slab: Firefighting water on a slab-on-grade home in Plano doesn’t just evaporate. It follows the clay and wicks back into walls weeks later. We map it before we dry it.
- Polybutylene plumbing failures: Many 1990s Plano homes still have polybutylene supply lines. Heat stress from a fire can weaken them, and then you’ve got a water damage claim stacked on top of a fire claim. We inspect and document.
- Smoke odor trapped in brick veneer: Plano’s brick exteriors look solid, but the air gap behind the brick can hold smoke like a chimney. We flush those cavities and seal them, which most crews don’t address.
- Wind-rated components damaged by fire: A broken impact-rated window or door in Plano leaves the home exposed to the next spring hailstorm. We scope replacements that meet current wind-load codes during the fire rebuild.

FAQs About Fire Damage Restoration in Plano
Plano’s expansive clay absorbs firefighting water that penetrates the slab and holds it, slowly releasing moisture back into your framing for weeks after the fire. That’s why we run sub-slab moisture mapping on every post-1980 slab home and dry below the surface, not just on top of it. Without this step, you’ll get hidden mold and rot months later. Call (940) 468-1166 and we’ll explain how it applies to your specific floor plan.
Smoke travels through wall cavities and settles into insulation, brick veneer air gaps, and sub-slab spaces during a fire. It doesn’t just sit in the burn room. In Plano’s humid climate, that trapped residue releases odor slowly over time. We treat the cavities, not just the surfaces, using thermal fogging and hydroxyl systems. If you still smell smoke weeks after a fire, the odor source wasn’t fully removed. We’ll find it and fix it.
Yes, and it should be. If a fire damages wind-rated doors or windows, leaving them unrepaired leaves your home exposed to Plano’s spring hail and wind storms while you’re still rebuilding. We include code-compliant replacement in the same scope as the fire restoration, so you don’t need a second contractor or a second permit. Your adjuster can see the full scope in writing.
First we board up and secure the property, then we map moisture below the slab and inside walls. After that, we run structural drying with Dri-Eaz and Injectidry equipment for three to seven days on a typical Plano fire. You’ll get a written scope and a named arrival window before any work starts. No surprises at the door. Call (940) 468-1166 to schedule an assessment.
Within 24 to 48 hours in Plano’s heat and humidity, wet drywall begins to wick moisture and grow mold. On a slab home, the water can also travel under the floor and affect multiple rooms. That’s why same-day mitigation matters. We get a crew to your Plano home within 60 to 90 minutes of your call, because every hour of delay extends the drying timeline and adds cost.
If your Plano home has fire damage, call (940) 468-1166 now. A live person answers 24 hours a day, every day. We’ll give you a free estimate, a written scope, and a named arrival window. The first visit is about understanding what happened and what it will take to fix it. No pressure, no vague numbers, just a straight answer.
