Protecting what's inside
When water or smoke damages a home, belongings are often the hardest part to deal with. Our contents team handles pack-out, inventory, cleaning and storage while repairs are done. Items are documented and moved to a climate-controlled facility for restoration, then returned to your home. In most cases you don't need to pack anything yourself.
If you have to leave the house, take what's hard or impossible to replace: medications, important documents, family heirlooms, valuables and your pets.
Services for Forney homes
Water damage
From a failed water heater to a pipe that bursts during a hard freeze, water damage restoration includes extraction, moisture mapping, structural drying and repairs. Wet furniture and rugs are moved or blocked up early so they don't wick up more water.
Fire and smoke damage
For an active fire, call 911 first and get everyone out. Once officials release the property, fire and smoke damage restoration covers soot cleanup, deodorization, board-up, contents cleaning and repairs. Soot is acidic and can discolor surfaces over time, so cleaning should start soon.
Mold
A leak that isn't dried properly can lead to mold within 24 to 48 hours. Mold remediation covers inspection, containment, removal and prevention, following Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) mold rules. Assessment and remediation are done by separate licensed parties where the law requires it.
Storm damage
Forney knows severe weather. On April 3, 2012, an EF3 tornado damaged homes in the city's Diamond Creek subdivision. More often, it's hail and high winds. Storm damage restoration starts with roof tarping and board-up, then drying and repairs.

Forney sits along US-80 in Kaufman County, about four miles southeast of Lake Ray Hubbard, a lake that was once known as Forney Lake. The Texas Legislature named Forney the "Antique Capital of Texas," and the city has grown quickly from that small-town base into new neighborhoods on every side. Whether your home is in the historic downtown area or a newer subdivision in 75126, it holds things that matter: furniture, photos, keepsakes, maybe a few antiques. Good restoration protects both the structure and its contents. If you need help now, call (469) 595-1661. We answer 24/7.
