When you contact us, we’ll quickly assess your situation and determine what services are needed. From there, we'll prevent further damage, begin cleanup and tear out, and start any remodeling necessary for a complete restoration.

"I am a renter, but I was very involved with my landlord in the restoration process of the townhome I rent after a slab leak occurred under my kitchen floor. Sarah Gilliland/Paul Davis Restoration handled the insurance claim repairs. As this is the third(!) claim over the past 5 years, I have had extensive experience with restoration companies. Paul Davis Restoration was definitely the best restoration company I have personally dealt with. Sarah was very attentive and compassionate with the needs of my landlord and me, always returning our phone calls and having the answers we needed even before asking! Her crew acted professionally in all facets of their work, especially the move out/move back of my furniture and contents - all handled with care and consideration. Sarah and her crew made a difficult situation easier to go through, and it was a pleasure to work with her."

"There was mold in my closet and I knew it was probably not a great idea to live with it. Chris Gibbons gave me clear and useful information about the options and trade-offs and broke through the noise. Seems like the other "experts" and insurance people I talked to were just adding confusion. Recommend Paul Davis Pasadena highly if you have mold."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Hard materials like glass, metal, and hardwood floors, washable fabrics, and undamaged electrical appliances can often be salvaged after a fire, although it depends on the extent of the damage. For washable fabrics, make sure to use a phosphate mix during the washing process to extract the smoke smell. There are a few things you should throw away after a fire, like canned foods and cosmetics, even if they don’t look like they’re damaged.

In many cases, homeowners insurance will cover smoke damage remediation costs , depending on the cause of the damage and the details of your insurance policy. Consult your policy before making a claim to ensure you have all the necessary documentation and follow the appropriate steps to make your claim. Your insurance company may have approved smoke remediation companies for you to choose from to help make the process smoother.

Call 911 immediately. If you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket near the laundry room, you can attempt to extinguish the fire, but don’t open or touch the dryer. If you can’t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home’s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn’t any damage.

On average, you should expect the fire damage restoration process to take two weeks, but the timeline can vary widely depending on the extent of the damage and the type of fire damage you have. Minor cooking fires that you’re able to extinguish yourself may only take a day or two to clean soot and remove smoke odors, while restoring an entire section of a home or fixing structural damage after a major house fire can take six to 12 months. Ask your professional for a more accurate timeline for your specific project.

Luckily, you can typically eliminate your microwave’s burnt smell within a few hours for most situations. Be sure to let it air out for two to three hours after cleaning to let the odor evacuate your home—if you close your home up too early, the odor will be trapped. For stronger, more stubborn burnt smells, it might take a full day or more to really notice a difference.
