Sodo, WA Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

Fires can be destructive in commercial properties and large venues like Lumen Field or the John Stanford Center for Educational Excellence. Our SERVPRO team specializes in cleaning fire and smoke damage.   

The First Steps in Effective Fire Mitigation

Mitigating fire damage can be critical in preventing greater harm to the structure as restorers can enter the house after extinguishment. Initial actions such as fire debris removal reduced the presence of soot and smoke damage to make other recovery actions more productive.

What Are the Main Focuses of Fire Damage Cleanup in Sodo?

Because the appearance and impact of fires in homes and businesses can change so much from one to another, the priorities of cleanup change as well. It is always the objective of our team to return structures to preloss condition, but the path is taken to reach this point changes based on the needs of the property. Some of the necessary actions include:

  • Soot cleanup 
  • Fire restoration 
  • Smoke odor removal 
  • Fire-damaged content cleaning  

How Threatening is Soot to Sodo Homes? 

Soot damage can be among the most formidable obstacles that exist after fire damage. Because partial combustion of so many materials can generate these particles, and the perceived health concerns with exposure to these solids in the environment, overcoming present soot threats is vital. We have multiple solutions to accomplish this with products and equipment.

Our Fire Restoration Process

Every fire damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” fire damage emergency.

Step 1: Emergency Contact

We are available 24 hours, 7 days a week. When you call, one of our representatives will ask a series of questions about the fire damage to your home or business. This information helps us respond immediately with all the needed equipment and resources.

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

We carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a plan of action.

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service (if needed)

In many fire damage cases, it’s necessary to board up missing windows and walls and to place tarps on a damaged roof. This helps to maintain security and to protect against further damage. 

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)

If needed, we can begin the water removal process with powerful pumps and extraction units. This removes most of the water. We complete the water removal and drying process with industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers. 

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

We use specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other surfaces. 

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing

We clean and sanitize the restorable items and structures damaged by the fire. Our professionals use a variety of cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration

Restoration is the final step—getting your home or business to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
