24/7 Fire And Water Damage Restoration in Lubbock, TX

When Firefighting Water Becomes the Bigger Problem
A second-floor bedroom fire is a common example. Firefighters knock it down in minutes, but hundreds of gallons of water run through the floor and into the living room below. By morning, the ceiling downstairs is sagging, the carpet is soaked, and the drywall is wicking water upward.
Firefighting water is contaminated. It carries soot, ash and debris, so it is usually treated as Category 2 or 3 water. With mold possible in 24 to 48 hours, drying cannot wait. A contractor who handles both damages extracts water and dries the structure first, then cleans soot once surfaces are dry enough to clean properly.
Crews do not guess when a wall is dry. Contractors take daily readings with pin and pinless moisture meters, compare them to a dry reference in an unaffected room, and adjust air movers and dehumidifiers until materials reach that target. Those drying logs also go into your claim file, showing the adjuster how long each room took to dry.

Fire And Water Damage Restoration Services in Lubbock
Order matters: water first, then soot.
Water Extraction
Extractors pull standing water and soaked carpet dry. Pad is usually removed because it holds contaminated water.
Moisture Mapping
Thermal imaging and moisture meters trace water through walls and floors.
Flood Cuts and Structural Drying
Wet drywall is cut above the water line, and air movers and dehumidifiers dry the cavities. Readings are logged daily.
Antimicrobial Treatment
Contaminated surfaces are treated with antimicrobials to limit mold growth.
Soot and Smoke Cleanup After Drying
After drying, crews clean soot and deodorize, so residue is not smeared into wet materials.
How Fire And Water Damage Restoration Works
Drying usually takes three to five days; cleanup and repairs follow.

Real Fire And Water Damage Restoration Experiences
Our fire was upstairs, and the water wrecked the rooms below. They had dehumidifiers running the same night, and they showed us daily moisture readings until it was dry.
The sprinklers stopped our office fire but flooded two suites. They dried the walls first and then did the soot cleanup.
No mold, which was my biggest fear. They cut the drywall above the water line and dried everything out.
Fire and Water Questions
Why is there so much water damage after a fire?
Fire hoses can deliver hundreds of gallons per minute, and sprinklers keep running until shut off.
Is firefighting water contaminated?
Yes, it usually carries soot, ash and debris, so it is generally treated as Category 2 or 3 water.
Should fire or water damage be handled first?
Water is usually handled first, because drying prevents mold and lets soot cleaning work properly.
How long does drying take after a fire?
Most structures dry in three to five days, depending on materials and how much water got in.
Will mold grow after a fire?
Mold can start within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, which is why fast extraction and drying matter.
Are fire and water damage covered under the same claim?
Firefighting water damage is usually part of the same fire claim. Confirm details with your agent.
