Fire & Smoke Damage Cleanup in Snohomish & King Counties, WA

Securing the property first

A fire-damaged building is open to the weather and to trespassers. We board windows and doors, tarp breached roof sections and shore up unsafe framing, so the structure is protected while cleanup and the claim move forward.

There is more than one kind of soot

Smoke leaves a different residue depending on what burned. Wet, oily soot from synthetic materials smears if it is wiped, while dry soot from paper and wood lifts easily. We identify the residue in each area and use the method that matches it — dry sponging, chemical sponges or wet cleaning — so soot is removed rather than pushed into the surface.

Neutralizing odor, not covering it

Smoke odor lives in particles that settle into porous materials, ductwork and wall cavities. After surfaces are cleaned, we use thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators or ozone treatment — matched to the space and whether it can be left unoccupied — to neutralize the odor at its source.

Contents and the claim

Salvageable belongings are inventoried, packed out and cleaned, since textiles, electronics, documents and furniture each need different handling. From there they go into secure storage until your home is ready. Everything is photographed and logged, so your adjuster has a record of what was damaged and what was saved.
