A house fire is one of the hardest things a family can go through — and the damage rarely stops when the flames are out. Smoke, soot, and the water used to put the fire out keep working on your home for days afterward. CORE by KHI Restoration helps Spring homeowners recover after fire and smoke damage, from emergency board-up through full reconstruction. Call 281-343-3140 — we’ll walk you through the next steps.
Why smoke and soot can’t wait
The visible burn is only part of a fire loss. Smoke residue is acidic — within hours it starts etching glass, discoloring walls, and corroding metal and electronics; the odor works its way into porous materials and HVAC systems. In Spring’s humid climate, that corrosion accelerates. Acting fast is what determines how much of your home and belongings can be saved.
Our fire damage restoration process
- Emergency contact & assessment — We respond quickly, secure the property, and assess fire, smoke, and water damage together.
- Board-up & roof tarping — We secure openings to protect against weather, animals, and intrusion while work proceeds.
- Water removal & drying — Firefighting water is extracted and the structure dried (fire losses are almost always water losses too).
- Smoke & soot removal — Specialized cleaning of surfaces, contents, and air to remove residue.
- Odor removal — Deodorization with air scrubbers and treatments — not masking, eliminating.
- Cleaning & contents restoration — We clean and restore salvageable belongings.
- Reconstruction — Repair and rebuild damaged areas to pre-loss condition.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to go back inside after a fire?
Often not right away. Structural, electrical, and air-quality hazards can remain. Let professionals assess the property first.
Can smoke odor really be removed?
Yes. Proper deodorization treats the source of the odor in materials and air, rather than covering it up.
Can my belongings be saved?
Many can be, if treated quickly. We separate salvageable contents and restore them where possible.
Do you also rebuild?
Yes. We handle reconstruction in-house, so one company takes you from emergency response to a finished home.
