Fire Damage Contents Restoration in Vancouver, WA
Most of what a fire costs you in a Vancouver house is not in the room that burned. It is the residue and the smell in every other room, and that is contents work rather than building work.
The fire was in one room. The damage is in all of them
Smoke travels where the air goes, which is everywhere, and it carries residue into rooms the flames never reached. Clothes in a closet two doors away, books, the inside of a wardrobe, soft furnishings that hold smell long after a surface wipe has made them look fine.
That is why the contents scope on a fire is almost always larger than the structural one, and why it is worth getting a proper walkthrough rather than a guess.
Cleaning happens at our facility, not in your house
A property that has had a fire is not a good place to clean anything. There is still residue in the air, the building is being worked on, and half the time the power is off. Contents are photographed, inventoried, packed out and dealt with at 11915 NE 56th Circle where the conditions are controlled and the work can be checked.
Deodorizing is the part that decides whether a piece really comes back, and it is not a single treatment. It is done at the facility over time, which is another thing that cannot happen in a house someone is trying to repair.
The honest part
Not everything survives a fire, and we would rather tell you that at the walkthrough than clean something twice and hand it back still smelling of smoke. What can be restored gets restored. What cannot goes on the inventory as a loss so it is on the claim rather than quietly missing.
The rest of the job
Fire mitigation cleaning of the property runs alongside the contents work, and clothing, bedding and soft furnishings get their own textile methods.
