FIRE & SMOKE DAMAGE RESTORATION • DFW & NORTH TEXAS
AFTER THE FIRE.
RUSK GETS TO WORK.
Fire damage doesn't end when the flames are out. Smoke, soot, odor, water, and damaged building materials can leave a property needing extensive cleanup and restoration. Rusk Restoration helps you begin putting the pieces back together.
THE FIRE MAY BE OUT
THE DAMAGE
CAN KEEP GOING.
A structure fire can create several different types of property damage at the same time.
Flames can damage structural and finish materials. Smoke and soot can travel beyond the immediate fire area. Water used during firefighting efforts can affect flooring, walls, insulation, cabinetry, and other materials.
Restoration begins by understanding the full extent of the loss, documenting affected areas, and determining what can be cleaned, what can be restored, and what may need to be removed or replaced.
FIRE & SMOKE RESTORATION
MORE THAN
WHAT BURNED.
Fire losses can involve multiple types of damage throughout the same property. Our restoration response is based on the conditions we find.
Fire Damage Assessment
Affected areas and materials are evaluated to help establish the scope of restoration work needed.
Smoke & Soot Cleanup
Smoke residue and soot can travel well beyond the immediate fire area and may require specialized cleaning of affected surfaces.
Odor Treatment
Smoke-related odors may remain after visible residue is removed. Appropriate treatment may be used based on the materials and conditions involved.
Water Mitigation
Water used to extinguish a fire can create a secondary restoration need requiring extraction, moisture evaluation, and structural drying.
Damaged Material Removal
Materials that cannot be appropriately cleaned or restored may require controlled removal as part of the restoration process.
Restoration Coordination
Once cleanup and mitigation are complete, repairs and reconstruction can be coordinated to move the property toward completion.
ONE EVENT. MULTIPLE PROBLEMS.
FIRE DAMAGE
DOESN'T STAY IN ONE ROOM.
Even when a fire is contained to one area, its effects can extend throughout a structure.

FIRE DAMAGE & INSURANCE
DOCUMENT
FROM THE BEGINNING.
Fire losses can involve extensive restoration work and multiple categories of damage, making organized documentation especially important.
Depending on the project, Rusk Restoration may document affected areas, photographs, water and moisture conditions, damaged materials, restoration activity, scopes, estimates, and other records associated with the work we perform.
Your insurance carrier determines coverage, policy benefits, deductibles, exclusions, and claim payment decisions.
INSURANCE & DOCUMENTATION →SAFETY COMES FIRST
DON'T RUSH
BACK INSIDE.
After a fire, follow instructions from the fire department and other appropriate authorities regarding when it is safe to enter the property.
Damaged structures can contain electrical hazards, unstable materials, contaminated debris, standing water, smoke residue, and other conditions that may not be obvious from outside.
If the property has not been cleared for entry, stay out and wait for the appropriate authority to tell you it is safe.
