Suffered a House Fire? We Have Your Back | SERVPRO of Federal Way

House fires can be incredibly scary situations. They can erupt completely unexpectedly and create dangerous situations in mere minutes, giving your family only a short amount of time to escape.
While you are focusing on getting your family to safety and making contact with the local authorities, the fire can continue to rip through your home and cause extensive damage in every room and on every level. If this unfortunate scenario ever happens to you, SERVPRO® of Federal Way is here to assist you and help you recover.
The Initial Point of Contact
We know just how overwhelming fire situations are, so we get right to work from the first moment you call us. We will identify who the emergency contact will be, ask a lot of questions about the origin of the fire and start gathering the team and the supplies we will need to help you.
Once we arrive at your door, one of our project managers will do a visual assessment of the damage he or she sees and will adjust plans if necessary to align with the current situation.
Our main goal when we first arrive is to secure your home from further damage. House fires can expose parts of your home to the elements, so we will lay down tarps and remove certain possessions from rooms to minimize further damage while we work.
We will also get to work on removing water from your home! Did you know that many homes that suffer from fire damage also suffer from water damage? While hoses and water are essential to putting out fires, water can be just as damaging as fire.
Extracting the Water and the Repairs
We will use specialized equipment to remove excess water, and we will also focus on tracking down every inch of soot and smoke odor left behind. We will go from room to room during this process because smoke odors can travel to places that the fire never even touched.
Once these tasks are done, we can move on to cleaning and repairing your space! It is always our goal to restore rather than replace your possessions, so we work hard to restore documents, upholstery, furniture and carpets to the best of our ability.
Reconstructing Your Home
This is often the most exciting part for homeowners! You can finally see the reconstruction process come to life as your home is rebuilt from the ground up. We can tear down ruined spaces and start over or we can work around your home’s remaining structure to rebuild your home to your satisfaction.
In addition to our restoration services, we are also a full-service construction crew! That means we will be able to handle your entire reconstruction from start to finish with confidence and precision. Let us help you overcome a house fire faster.
Serious fire damage can occur even with small house fires. Call SERVPRO of Federal Way for quick fire damage restoration assistance.
