Who We Are

Why Hico Property Owners Keep Our Number Saved

Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our Hico technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.

Don't Wait On These

What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Hico Fire

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

Soot Around Vents

Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Hico, TX insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

None of these six signs get better with time. The Hico properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Hico homes.

Our Guarantee

Our Written Guarantee, Not Just A Sales Line
