Successful Fire Restoration for Yakima Properties

SERVPRO protects your Yakima house with tarps as we mitigate and then restore the fire damage. "Like it never even happened."

Defeating Fire Damage in Yakima Properties

Fire damage can occur from unattended cooking while you are home exploring your culinary skills or electrical malfunctions while you are out browsing local joints like Yakima Antojitos Mexicanos, Gyro House, and Great Shanghai for Mexican, Greek, or Chinese foods. Either way, you may be looking at significant property damage and loss of valuables. Successful fire restoration is essential to reinstating preloss conditions. You can rely on SERVPRO® for the necessary resources, including trained staff and specialized equipment.

Success in fire restoration for Yakima properties varies based on the type and extent of the fire. The city, and indeed much of central Washington, faces a constant threat of wildfires due to the dry climate. For minor incidents, it's possible to salvage everything through cleaning, refinishing, deodorization, and drying since there is an aspect of water damage when a fire affects a property. For severe incidents, saving everything is a mirage. SERVPRO ensures that any removal procedures run smoothly without causing additional destruction. We also consider the type of property, and we are best placed to salvage high-valued properties like Rosedell Mansion and the E. William Brackett House.

Essential procedures for a positive outcome

• Damage assessment
• Securing the property
• Debris removal
• Cleaning and odor management

When our SERVPRO technicians carry out an assessment, we aim to establish the extent of charring, smoke residue spread patterns, and the safety situation. That way, we can prioritize actions such as securing the premises by boarding it up and installing roof tarps to prevent further damage. Although you can readily find the materials necessary to secure your property, that may mean moving around facilities like Helliesen Lumber & Supply Co, CWallA, and Western Materials Inc. getting them piecemeal. Our crews bring everything needed, including two-by-fours, to secure the board-up materials. 

Resources That Enhance Convenience

One issue in a property affected by a fire is debris buildup from the charred drywall, fabrics, and individual items like furniture and utensils. When such debris is spread around the property, carrying out restoration tasks is challenging or hazardous. SERVPRO crews bring large wheeled trash cans for debris collection and temporary on-site storage.

Helpful equipment

• Thermal foggers for deodorization
• Blast cleaning equipment 
• Strong vacuum cleaners
