FIRE AND SMOKE DAMAGE

A house fire leaves more than burned wood. We secure the property, clear the soot and smoke, and rebuild to local building code.
Chapter 01
Smoke can do more damage than the fire
A house fire can be devastating, and it leaves a range of damage behind. In many cases smoke actually causes more damage than the fire does, so the job often includes smoke damage restoration as well as the fire repair.
Walls, furniture and fixtures can all show signs of heat or soot. The first step is an assessment of the scale and scope of the damage. A complete assessment records and documents all of it for your insurance company to review, then determines exactly what needs fixing and what type of work it takes to restore the property to its safe, original condition.
Call (509) 388-1175. Our fire damage response in Yakima and the surrounding areas runs 24/7/365, and no job is too small or too big.

Securing the property before anything else
Most fire damage restoration starts with securing the home, either by board-up or with temporary fencing. The walls, floors and roof are examined and inspected. If the roof caught fire and there are visible holes or leaks, it may need a tarp over it to protect the house from rain.
Any water damage gets addressed too, by pumping out the water and airing out the moisture. That matters in the valley, where a house open to the weather in any season can pick up new damage while it waits.
Our crew is local to Yakima, so getting to your location quickly to help secure the property is part of how we work.
Chapter 03
Scrub, sand, refinish, sanitize, rebuild
Smoke damage restoration means scrubbing, sanding and refinishing surfaces to remove soot and smoke. Some items may need to be disposed of. Special equipment is used to sanitize everything before reconstruction begins, and all carpets and upholstery are professionally cleaned to remove soot and smoke. Smoke odor removal is part of the same process.
Then the house gets repaired according to local building code, so you have a safe place to come home to when everything is complete. Complete Restoration and Construction is a construction company as well, so the crew that cleans the house can rebuild it.
We have helped hundreds of Yakima and surrounding area residents put their homes and businesses back together after a minor or major fire. We work with your insurance company through the claim.
