The losses sustained by a fire-gutted house can look worse than what the property owners in Bellevue expect. SERVPRO can use such destruction to your advantage with controlled demolition. Fire restoration work does not always require that we rebuild according to the previous floor plan.

We discuss all possible options when preparing for fire restoration work in your Bellevue residence. Insurance adjusters do not always require exact substitutes during restoration projects and often approve modifications to our customers’ houses, especially if they carry added advantages.

Plumbing and wiring are other areas that often get upgraded after a fire happens. We explain every step before taking action, as we want you to remain fully informed with no surprises occurring that would add to your stress.
