Bellevue, WA Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

Fires are universally damaging, whether it is the shopping options of Bellevue Square and Crossroads Mall or the homes lining Lake Washington. When fire and smoke damage threaten a structure, our SERVPRO team quickly responds with vital mitigation and restoration solutions. 

What Starts Fire Mitigation in Bellevue Properties?

Mitigating fire losses can be a vital first step in the protection of affected properties. Initial actions play a role in increasing the pace and thoroughness of restoration efforts to come. Some of these include:

  • Bulk material removal
  • Surface cleaning
  • Controlled demolition
  • Air filtration 
  • Smoke remediation

What Removes Soot from Bellevue Residences? 

Soot and smoke residues are among the most formidable obstacles for home restoration after a fire. These thick deposits are a considerable challenge to eliminate, and without the right approach of doing so, could lead to staining and permanent damages. We have a combination of dry cleaning strategies like vacuuming and chem sponges and wet cleaning with solvents and detergents to increase the efficiency of this process. 

Do Repairs Always Have to Happen After Structure Fires? 

Repairing homes and businesses compromised by fire damage is often necessary. Structure fires spread fast and envelope sensitive materials that quickly combust. As a licensed contractor, our SERVPRO of Bellevue West team can complete much of the repairs and reconstruction services required after substantial fire and smoke damage.

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 determine the scope of the fire and smoke damage by examining the affected areas and by testing the adjoining rooms for smoke and soot damage. An accurate assessment is crucial to the planning process. 

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

Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs. 

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

The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We then use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process. 

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

Your property’s ceiling, walls, floors, and other surfaces will likely have smoke and soot residue. We’ll use specialized cleaning products, equipment, and techniques to properly clean your home or business. 

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing

Any restorable items will be cleaned and sanitized. We’ll use a variety of specialized cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. Our professionals will also remove smoke and other odors using advanced air scrubbing equipment and fogging devices with deodorizers.

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.
