Our Process

How we handle fire damage restoration in San Marcos

1We board up and tarp the building

Where the fire broke a window or opened the roof, we board up and tarp the building. The City's hazard mitigation plan lists hailstorms among the hazards it plans for, and an open roof is exposed to the next one.

2We clean the smoke and soot

Smoke moves through shared walls, attic space and hallways, so soot can reach rooms the fire never touched. We handle soot cleanup, smoke odor removal and deodorization in each room the smoke reached.

3We pack out your belongings and handle the rebuild

We clean and store your belongings during the work and bring them back at the end. The burned material leaves with fire debris removal, structure cleaning follows, and the rebuild comes last.

“We suffered a small fire in our house alittle over a week ago, Watchtower came to the house and talked to us about repair. The person that came out Michael Sullivan ( Sully) was not pressuring us and explained every step. What really sold me was that Sully kept in contact with us and didn't pressure us into signing an agreement. Josh was more than helpful and also made the ordeal bearable. Sully is truly an asset to the company. Since this a work in progress there will be more to follow at a later time”

FAQs

Common questions about fire damage in San Marcos

Plain answers about the work, the estimate and your insurance.

Can I go back into my San Marcos home after the fire is out?

Not until the fire department tells you the building is safe to enter. Soot coats surfaces and hangs in the rooms after a fire, so a person with asthma or other breathing trouble may do better to stay elsewhere until the cleanup ends. Ask your doctor.

I rent my place in San Marcos. Who pays for the fire damage?

It depends on the policies involved. A landlord's policy often covers the building, and a renters policy may cover what you own. We can answer your questions about the paperwork and talk with each insurance company involved. Your insurance company decides what your policy covers.

Does a free estimate in San Marcos commit me to anything?

No. It costs nothing and carries no obligation. It is a walk through the damage and an itemized scope, not an insurance claim, and you choose what to do with it.

Will you talk with my insurance company about a fire claim in San Marcos?

Yes. When we talk with your insurance company, we share the photos, moisture readings and itemized scope from the first walk through the building.

Can your crew explain the work to us in Spanish?

Yes. We speak English and Spanish, so everyone in the household, or the landlord and the tenant, can follow the estimate, the scope and each step of the cleanup.

Can I burn the fire debris in my San Marcos yard?

No. San Marcos bans open burning of brush, trash or debris inside the city at all times. Burned material from a house fire goes out with fire debris removal, and we haul it away as part of the job.

A dryer fire filled our San Marcos home with smoke. Where does the soot go?

Smoke from a dryer fire spreads from the laundry room into the halls and rooms around it. Soot can settle on walls, ceilings, closets and clothes, so we clean room by room and follow with smoke odor removal. Clothes and other belongings can be packed out, cleaned and stored, then brought back.
