Even just the thought of suffering a house fire can keep homeowners up at night. House fires continue to be one of the scariest possibilities when it comes to owning a home and the risks associated with it! Thousands of house fires happen across the country every year, so it is important to be prepared for the fact that one may happen to you someday. 

While we truly hope it doesn’t, you should know who to call to help you put your home back together again. After the flames are out and the fire department has left, get on the phone and call SERVPRO of Issaquah East & North Bend. 

Our First Conversation
Our team is proudly available 24/7, so we will pick up the phone no matter if you call us at 8 p.m. or 3 a.m. We know that disasters don’t just happen when it is convenient, so we are always here just in case. 

Our team will quickly start to put together a restoration plan by identifying the emergency contact and by asking many questions about the fire. We will ask how it started, where it spread to and the extent of the damage you see. These questions help ensure we have the right team and equipment packed up before we head to your house.

Once we arrive, we will do a visual assessment of your home to make sure our plans align with the reality of the situation, and we also make sure your home is safe to be in while we work. At this point, we will work on boarding up windows or laying tarps over exposed sections of your home to protect it from further damage due to the elements or weather. 

We will also start extracting any standing water! Did you know that most house fires also have water damage or standing water to deal with? That’s because of the firefighting efforts used to put out the flames. 

Removing Debris 

Now that the water is gone, we can start moving out damaged debris. Depending on the extent of the damage, we will also go through each level and room of your home to remove soot and smoke odors. Smoke can travel to areas of your house that the flames never touched, so we make sure to be thorough in our search.

We will also prioritize your possessions and work hard to save as much of them from permanent damage as possible. We operate on a “restore rather than replace” mentality, so we work hard to clean, sanitize and remove smoke from everything that we can. 

The Rebuilding Process

Now that your home is clean and ready to be rebuilt, our team will get to work on the reconstruction needs. Some homes only need minor repairs while others will require partial demolition before they can be rebuilt safely. 

We can handle it all! Our team is also a full-service construction and remodeling company, so we can take your home from ruin to remodeled quickly and thoroughly.

Your home is always in good hands with SERVPRO of Issaquah East & North Bend. Contact us if you ever suffer a house fire so we can be there for you.
