Call +1-866-484-1409Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our St. Hedwig technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Because our crews work 78152 regularly, they already understand which St. Hedwig permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
St. Hedwig, TX insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
