Who We Are

A Licensed Hico Crew That Answers Its Own Phone

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.

Because our crews work 76457 regularly, they already understand which Hico permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Hico scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

I

Licensed & Insured

State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.

II

Live Dispatch

No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.

III

IICRC Trained

Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.

IV

Adjuster-Ready Files

We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.

Every Hico job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

Don't Wait On These

What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Hico Fire

01

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.

02

Soot Around Vents

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

03

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

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

04

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.

05

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.

06

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.

Core Services

The Full Fire Damage Removal Scope We Run In Hico, Start To Finish

A

Emergency Mitigation

First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.

B

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.

C

Commercial Restoration

Phased scopes that let Hico businesses reopen unaffected sections while the rest of the rebuild continues.

D

Structural Rebuild

Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Hico permitting.

E

Odor Elimination

Persistent odor after a Hico fire usually needs equipment-based treatment, which is what this service actually is.

F

Contents & Pack-Out

Inventoried pack-out with ultrasonic cleaning for salvageable belongings while the Hico property is under repair.
