Get your free estimateFast, Reliable Fire Damage Restoration Across Town ‘n’ Country
Fire damage restoration in Town ‘n’ Country typically costs between $3,200 and $28,000 depending on whether the fire touched one room or spread through the roof system. Most jobs we handle in Town ‘n’ Country fall in the $7,000 to $16,000 range, and we can usually get a crew on-site within two hours of your call to (850) 367-1316. The number that matters most right now is that fire suppression water does not wait. In a slab-on-grade home, it wicks into drywall and baseboards within 48 to 72 hours and starts feeding mold. Our Fire Damage Restoration team works this area every week, so we know the exact failure points in 1960s and 1970s concrete-block construction.
Shane Pruitt leads our crews, and he runs every job to The Garrison Standard: a written price before any work starts, background-checked technicians in uniform, and a full-year written guarantee on every repair. When you call, a live person answers. Not a phone tree. Not a call-back queue. That matters at 2 a.m. when your kitchen just caught fire and you’re standing in the driveway wondering what happens next.
Why Keegan Restoration Tampa Is Town ‘n’ Country’s Preferred Fire Damage Restoration Company

We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, running independently since 2005, which means we’re held to a written standard, not whatever the crew feels like doing that day.

Restoration work we handle
Fire Damage Cleanup in Town ‘n’ Country
Fire Damage Cleanup in Town ‘n’ Country starts with containment, not with sweeping. In a concrete-block home, soot and smoke particles will travel through wall cavities and settle on surfaces in rooms that never saw flame. We set up negative air pressure and poly containment before we pull anything, then remove charred drywall, insulation, and any material that has absorbed smoke. A typical single-room cleanup in Town ‘n’ Country runs $3,200 to $8,500, depending on how far the smoke traveled. If the fire touched the kitchen and the smoke spread through a hallway and into two bedrooms, expect the higher end. We give you the written number before any work begins.
What gets pulled, what gets cleaned
Charred drywall comes out. So does insulation above the burn. Soot-covered drywall that’s structurally sound can often be HEPA-vacuumed and sealed, but in older Town ‘n’ Country homes with original drywall from the 1960s and 1970s, we frequently find that the material is too porous to save. We make that call based on what we see, and we show you photos before we cut. You’ll never wonder why something was removed.
Slab moisture checks during cleanup
If the fire department put water on the fire, we treat the slab as a Water Damage Restoration - Town ‘n’ Country issue on day one. Water from a fire hose can sit in a concrete slab and wick up into baseboards for weeks. We run moisture mapping during cleanup, not after it, because restoring a room and then finding damp baseboards three days later means doing the job twice. In this climate, that’s a guarantee, not a maybe.
Smoke Odor Removal in Town ‘n’ Country
Smoke Odor Removal in Town ‘n’ Country is not a matter of spraying deodorizer and hoping for the best. Smoke molecules embed in drywall, ceiling texture, flooring, and inside ductwork. In concrete-block homes, smoke also penetrates the block itself, which means surface cleaning alone will not stop the odor from returning. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment where appropriate, and hydroxyl generators for occupied homes. A typical odor removal job in Town ‘n’ Country runs $2,800 to $7,500, and that’s typically paired with cleanup rather than billed as a separate service. The key variable is whether the smoke reached the attic or the ductwork, and in flat and low-slope roof homes throughout this area, it usually does.
Ductwork and the odor that won’t quit
If you clean the walls but leave smoke-stained ducts, the smell comes back the first time your AC kicks on. Town ‘n’ Country homes run air conditioning most of the year, which means smoke particles in the ducts re-circulate constantly. We inspect and clean or seal ducts as part of any smoke job where the HVAC system was running during the fire. That’s a standard part of our scope, not an upsell.
Sealing before repainting
Paint alone does not lock in smoke odor. The stain bleeds through and the smell returns. We use a solvent-based sealer on affected framing and drywall before any primer goes down. A lot of homeowners ask why that step matters. It matters because unsealed smoke residue will keep off-gassing for years, and you’ll smell it every time the humidity climbs in July.
Trusted Brands We Service in Town ‘n’ Country
Our crews run Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and XPOWER air movers, the same equipment referenced in IICRC-standard restoration work. We also operate to RIA and IFA guidelines where they apply. For Town ‘n’ Country customers, that means we show up with professional-grade drying gear, not rental-grade fans from a hardware store. When your slab is releasing moisture into a freshly cleaned room, the difference matters. We maintain our equipment inventory locally, so we’re not waiting on a truck from another county when your house needs another four days of drying.
Common Fire Damage Restoration Problems We See in Town ‘n’ Country Homes
- Damp slabs hiding behind “dry” rooms. Fire hoses dump hundreds of gallons. In a slab-on-grade home, that water doesn’t drain away like it does under a raised wood-frame house. It sits in the concrete and wicks up through baseboards days later, often in a room far from the burn.
- Cast iron and galvanized plumbing failing during a fire. Many Town ‘n’ Country homes built before 1985 still have original supply lines. Heat from a fire can cause these to rupture, which is exactly what happened on a Hanley Road job we handled recently. The fire was out, but a split supply line kept feeding Category 2 water across the slab while the smoke was still clearing.
- Containment skipped to save time. In a single-story concrete-block house, air movement from fans and dehumidifiers can push smoke particles and mold spores into rooms that were never touched by fire. If a crew doesn’t set up containment first, they spread the problem while trying to fix it.
- Flat and low-slope roof fires spreading through the attic. Town ‘n’ Country has a high percentage of homes with flat or low-slope roof systems. Fire moves horizontally through these attic spaces faster than through a pitched roof, which means the smoke damage footprint is often larger than the burn itself.

FAQs About Fire Damage Restoration in Town ‘n’ Country
Mold can begin forming within 48 to 72 hours in a slab-on-grade home where fire suppression water has soaked into drywall and baseboards. The high water table in Town ‘n’ Country keeps slabs damp longer than in elevated homes, which accelerates the process. Call (850) 367-1316 the same day if possible. The faster we get drying equipment running, the less demolition you’ll need.
Yes. Fire suppression water can saturate a slab that was already holding moisture from years of high water table conditions. Heat from the fire also changes the vapor pressure inside the home, which can draw old moisture up through the slab and into newly cleaned drywall. We see this regularly in homes off Hillsborough Avenue and Sheldon Road. That’s why we moisture-map every job in Town ‘n’ Country, even when the visible water damage looks minor.
The plumbing itself doesn’t cause smoke odor, but older cast iron and galvanized lines can rupture from the heat of a fire and introduce water into wall cavities where smoke already settled. That combination creates a damp, smoky environment that odor treatments alone can’t fix. If your home has original plumbing and you’re smelling smoke months after a fire, something is still wet or something was sealed over too soon. We’ll find it and document it.
Fire departments typically use a mix of water and fire-suppressing agents, and the water itself picks up soot, char, and whatever chemicals were in the burning materials. We treat that as Category 2 or Category 3 water, depending on what burned. In a slab-on-grade home, that water doesn’t drain away. It sits in the concrete and gets absorbed upward into drywall, which means the cleanup scope has to include structural drying, not just surface cleaning.
You’ll know the cleanup was thorough if the crew documented moisture readings, sealed surfaces before repainting, and inspected the attic and ductwork. In a flat or low-slope roof Town ‘n’ Country home, smoke travels horizontally through the attic, so a visual check of the room below isn’t enough. If the crew didn’t go into the attic or test the ducts, the job probably wasn’t done to the standard your home needs. We provide drying logs and photo documentation on every job so you have proof of what was done.
