Why hire a licensed fire investigator in Texas

Licensed and accountable
Licensure means a legal duty to work in your interest, continuing-education requirements, and a state regulator to complain to if something goes wrong.
Experience the carrier respects
Carriers respond differently when a licensed professional is on the file. The paperwork, cadence, and language matter.
Transparent pricing
Fees are disclosed in writing before any work begins. No surprise invoices, no hidden scope.

Representative outcomes

Typical fire investigator results on common claim types in Texas. Actual outcomes depend on policy language, damage, and timing.

$14K → $62KWater damage

Burst supply line, kitchen ceiling collapse

A Houston homeowner came home to a ceiling already on the floor — an upstairs supply line had failed overnight. The carrier's field adjuster scoped cosmetic drywall repair and a fraction of the flooring. Reopening the claim with proper moisture mapping, cabinet box damage documentation, and code-required electrical work moved the settlement from roughly $14K to $62K — enough to replace the full affected floor and bring the home back to pre-loss condition.

Post-storm roof denial reversed

Hail damage

After a TX hail event, a homeowner's carrier denied roof replacement, calling the damage cosmetic. Fresh inspection with calibrated roof-test squares, shingle mat cross-sections, and NOAA storm-data pairing established a supportable replacement case. The denial was reversed and the homeowner received a full roof replacement plus matching gutters and screens.

Reopened claim, corrected scope, better recovery

Reopen & supplement

An initial carrier estimate missed several covered line items. Careful scope review, supporting photographs, and code-required documentation resulted in a supplemental payment materially larger than the original offer — returning the policyholder closer to whole.
