What Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Service Includes

Fire Damage Cleanup

Fire damage cleanup removes charred debris, compromised building materials, and contaminated surfaces following any structural fire, from kitchen grease fires in Bothell’s 1980s split-levels to electrical panel failures in newer construction near Beardslee Boulevard. We inventory every removed item with photo documentation, test adjacent structural members for hidden heat damage using moisture meters and thermal imaging, and provide a written scope with line-item pricing before demolition begins. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and licensed, with license numbers provided on request.

Smoke & Soot Removal

Smoke and soot removal addresses the acidic residue that settles on every surface after a fire, etching glass, corroding metal, and embedding into porous materials like drywall and unfinished wood within hours. In Bothell’s humid climate, where the Sammamish River Valley traps moisture against hillside homes, soot hygroscopically attracts water and accelerates corrosion if not treated promptly. We use HEPA vacuuming, dry sponging, and targeted solvent cleaning matched to the fire classification - protein fires from kitchen grease require different chemistry than synthetic fires from plastics or petroleum products - with all methods documented to IICRC S730 standards.

Odor Removal & Deodorization

Odor removal and deodorization eliminates the volatile organic compounds that penetrate deep into structural cavities, HVAC ductwork, and insulation long after visible soot is gone. We deploy thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators depending on the contamination level and occupancy status, with vapor pressure differential monitoring to confirm that odor molecules have been neutralized rather than masked. Every deodorization project in Bothell includes pre- and post-treatment air sampling with documented readings, so you have evidence that the odor source was eliminated, not covered up.

Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

Contents cleaning and pack-out protects salvageable personal property from further damage while restoration work proceeds on the structure. Our team photographs each item at origin, inventories it with a unique tracking number, and transports it to our controlled cleaning facility where textiles receive ultrasonic cleaning, electronics get corrosion-inhibited storage, and documents undergo freeze-drying if water exposure occurred during fire suppression. In Bothell’s dense neighborhoods like North Creek and Thrashers Corner, where homes often lack space for on-site staging, our pack-out service keeps your belongings secure and documented while we restore your house.

Emergency Board-Up & Tarping

Emergency board-up and tarping secures compromised openings - blown-out windows, burned-through roofing, damaged garage doors - against weather intrusion and unauthorized entry, which your insurance policy likely requires as a condition of coverage. We use 5/8-inch fire-rated plywood for structural openings and reinforced polyethylene tarps with 2×4 batten fastening for roof breaches, with photo documentation of the pre-secured condition and the completed stabilization sent to your adjuster within 24 hours. Response time in Bothell averages 60-90 minutes for emergency board-up, with crews dispatched from our North Creek area staging point.

Structural Fire Repair

Structural fire repair rebuilds load-bearing elements, floor systems, and exterior envelopes to pre-loss condition with permits pulled through the City of Bothell Building Division and inspections coordinated on your behalf. We specialize in matching the Pacific Northwest construction common to Bothell homes - post-and-beam foundations on hillside lots, engineered truss systems in 1990s construction, and the cedar siding and composite roofing prevalent in Canyon Park and Fernwood. Every structural repair includes a written price before work begins, Haven Standard, Clause 1, with no scope additions once the crew is inside your home.

Brands We Service for Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration

We’ve worked extensively with Injectidry systems for structural cavity drying and smoke odor extraction, particularly in Bothell’s older homes with balloon framing where smoke travels vertically through wall cavities inaccessible to conventional cleaning. Our technicians are trained on Injectidry’s interstitial drying mats and positive/negative air pressure configurations, with the documented psychrometric data that proves vapor pressure differentials were achieved - the kind of evidence that turns restoration invoices into payable insurance claims.

We also document all fire and smoke restoration work to IICRC and RIA standards, producing the daily logs, moisture readings, and material classifications that adjusters expect. Whether your home has Injectidry-compatible construction or any other building system, we have the equipment and documentation protocols to restore it properly. Our work is further documented to IFA standards where applicable for specialized deodorization and indoor air quality verification.

Signs You Need Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Right Now

• Visible soot or charring on walls, ceilings, or fixtures. Even small, contained fires produce smoke that rises and collects at ceiling level, leaving a greasy or powdery residue that etches paint and corrodes metal if left untreated. In Bothell’s tighter-built homes from the 1990s and 2000s, this damage concentrates faster due to limited air exchange with the outdoors.
• Persistent smoke odor that returns after cleaning. If you’ve wiped surfaces and run air fresheners but still smell smoke when the HVAC cycles or humidity rises, odor molecules have penetrated porous materials or ductwork. Bothell’s winter humidity, often 80% or higher, reactivates trapped smoke compounds and makes them detectable again.
• Discoloration or warping of drywall, trim, or flooring near the fire origin. Heat damage often extends beyond the visibly burned area, compromising the structural integrity of gypsum board, vapor barriers, and adhesive bonds. We use thermal imaging to map the full heat-affected zone before writing the scope of repair.
• Corroded metal fixtures, outlets, or appliances in the fire zone. Smoke residue is acidic; within 24-72 hours it begins pitting chrome, brass, and copper, and can cause electrical failures in outlets and switches. If you see tarnishing that appeared after a fire, the corrosion is active and spreading.
• Respiratory irritation, headaches, or eye burning when indoors. These symptoms indicate elevated particulate matter and volatile organic compounds from incomplete combustion, particularly from synthetic materials like PVC, carpet padding, or foam insulation. This is not a sensitivity issue - it’s a measurable air quality failure that requires professional remediation and documented clearance testing.

Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Emergency Contact & Dispatch. When you call (425) 696-6061, a live person answers - no voicemail, no callback queue. We gather the fire type, affected square footage if known, and your insurance carrier, then dispatch a crew with board-up materials if the structure is compromised. Response time to Bothell addresses averages 60-90 minutes for emergency stabilization.
2. 2
   Site Assessment & Documentation. Our technician walks the property with you, photographing every affected room from multiple angles, testing structural members with a moisture meter and thermal imager, and identifying the fire classification (protein, synthetic, natural material, or electrical). We note Bothell-specific conditions: hillside drainage patterns that may have directed fire suppression water into crawl spaces, or the cedar shake siding common in older neighborhoods that may have smoldered after the visible flame was out.
3. 3
   Written Scope & Price Delivery. Before any work begins, you receive a written scope with line-item pricing: demolition quantities by square foot, cleaning chemistry specified by brand and application rate, equipment rental days with daily rates, and reconstruction labor hours with unit pricing. Haven Standard, Clause 1: no work starts until you’ve reviewed and approved the written price in writing. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written estimate - bring it to us and we’ll review it at no charge.
4. 4
   Emergency Stabilization & Contents Protection. If approved, we immediately board or tarp compromised openings, establish negative air pressure containment to prevent cross-contamination, and pack out salvageable contents with photo inventory. HVAC systems are sealed to prevent recirculation of particulates. Every action is photographed and logged with a timestamp.
5. 5
   Cleaning, Deodorization & Reconstruction. We execute the approved scope with daily documentation: moisture readings at specified intervals, vapor pressure differential logs, photo progress records, and material safety data sheets for all cleaning agents. Upon completion, we provide a final report with pre- and post-treatment readings, a signed completion certificate, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise under The Haven Standard - if it’s not done right, we make it right.
