Fort Worth — charred studs after a house fire

Fire · Fort Worth

Fort Worth Fire Restoration — Contents in Place

Ceiling joists charred. Kitchen still a kitchen. Then the water from the attack. We board it, pull what failed, and dry what’s left.

817-632-2522

Loss

House fire through living space, kitchen, bath, and ceiling cavities. Contents still in the rooms. Suppression water on the floors.

What we found

  • Ceiling joists charred in place. Wiring melted in the cavity. That is a framing and electrical call, not a paint call.
  • Kitchen cabinets still standing. Heat and soot on the remaining finishes. Clean or replace is written from the piece, not a room-wide package.
  • Bathroom took soot. The shower enclosure was still there. Tile that is sound stays. What is not, comes out.
  • Living room contents still in the house — furniture, TV, debris on the floor. Occupied-house fire, not a vacant demo.
  • Exterior openings boarded. Wet debris in the trailer, off the house.
  • Dehumidifiers on the truck. Firefighting water is a water loss. We dry it.

    Suppression water is a water loss. Equipment on the truck, then on the floor.

What we did

Board-up. Selective demolition. Dump trailer. Air movers. Dehumidifiers.

Result

Boarded. Debris out. Remaining assemblies on a drying map. Rebuild is the charred ceiling, the kitchen, and the wet floor — written from what burned and what got wet, not from the first driveway number.
