House fires are a scary concept for any homeowner. No one wants to think about the possibility of their home and possessions going up in flames, not to mention the sheer danger that accompanies an out-of-control blaze.
Fire can cause extensive damage in a really short amount of time, leaving you with a damaged home and a lot of questions. SERVPRO of Seattle Central and South & Mercer Island is Here to Help® you recover more completely.
The Initial Contact
We are so grateful to have the brave men and women of the Seattle-area fire departments to help put out the flames! But once you have made it out of your home safely and the fire has been completely put out, the fire department will unfortunately not be able to stay to help you recover and rebuild.
That’s where a reliable restoration company comes into play! We are available 24/7 to respond to your fire emergency, and we will get started right away to identify the emergency contact and get working on your recovery plan.
We will ask many questions about how the fire started, where it spread and how long it burned. We don’t ask them because we are nosy! We want to know as much about your particular situation so we can pack the right equipment and gather the right team to help you.
Once we have the initial information, we will get going on our way to your door. Our team will do a visual evaluation of the space and then get right to work on your restoration.
Drying Out and Repairing
First, we get to work removing any damaged possessions and anything that we can salvage and restore in a safe location. Then we will get working on removing any standing water from your home.
Did you know that most homes that suffer from fire damage also suffer from water damage? Water is a great extinguisher, but it can quickly cause more damage in the process.
We will also get to work employing our deodorizers to remove smoke from every level of your home. When your space is ready, it will get a thorough cleaning and sanitization from top to bottom. Our team can handle every aspect of the cleaning from scrubbing down walls to delicate document repair.
The Rebuilding Process
House fires can fully engulf homes in just a few minutes, which means most homes suffer from at least some level of structural damage. Our crew will confidently tackle your structural repairs as soon as your home is ready to be rebuilt. We can tear down damaged walls and rebuild them, and we can even restore entire sections of your home.
Our goal is to work quickly enough to minimize the disruption to your life but we will also be efficient enough to make sure every step is done thoroughly. When we are through, you would never know you suffered a house fire in the first place.
House fires can cause serious damage all over your home. Contact SERVPRO of Seattle Central and South & Mercer Island for a quick and reliable recovery.
