Your HVAC System Can Undo Your Cleanup
Cleaning walls and furniture is wasted effort if the ducts are still full of soot. The first time the AC kicks on in a Dallas or Fort Worth summer, it spreads residue and smell straight back through the house. That is why duct cleaning is part of every fire restoration we do.
- Duct inspection: cameras check for soot deep inside the system
- Negative-air cleaning: soot pulled out, not pushed around
- Vents and registers: removed, cleaned and deodorized
- Air handler and coil: cleaned or replaced with HVAC partners
- Filter replacement: high-efficiency filters fitted after cleaning
Turn Off the HVAC After a Fire
If you can, keep your heating and air off until the system has been inspected. Running it spreads soot and odor to rooms that may not have been affected.
Our Dallas and Fort Worth crews inspect and clean the system early in the restoration so the rest of the cleanup lasts.

HVAC Duct Smoke Cleaning FAQs
Do I need duct cleaning after a small fire?
Often yes. Even a small kitchen fire can send soot through the return vent if the system was running.
Can smoke-damaged ductwork be cleaned or must it be replaced?
Most metal ductwork can be cleaned. Flex duct and duct board that absorbed heavy smoke are usually replaced.
Will duct cleaning remove the smoke smell?
It removes a major source of the smell. Combined with structure cleaning and deodorizing, it eliminates odor for good.
How long does duct cleaning take?
Most homes take one day. Larger homes or systems needing replacement take longer.
Do you work with HVAC companies?
Yes. We coordinate with licensed HVAC partners in Dallas and Fort Worth for coil cleaning, repairs or replacement.
