Fire and smoke damage restoration in Burien
After a fire, the damage you can see is only part of it. Smoke and soot travel through the house and the ducts, settle on walls, ceilings and belongings in rooms the fire never touched, and keep smelling for months if they’re not cleaned properly. The water used to put the fire out soaks floors and walls and needs to be dried just like any other water damage.
Our fire damage restoration covers:
- Emergency board-up and roof tarping to secure the house
- Water removal and drying after firefighting
- Soot cleanup on walls, ceilings and contents
- Smoke odor removal in the structure, furniture and ducts
- Removal of materials that can’t be saved, and rebuilding
- Photos and an itemized scope for your insurance claim
Water damage and mold in Burien homes
Much of Burien was built in the decades after World War II, and many of those homes have crawl spaces, older galvanized or copper plumbing, and original water heaters or replacements past their life span. On the slopes down to Puget Sound, around Seahurst, Shorewood and Three Tree Point, heavy rain can send water toward foundations and into crawl spaces.
Wet materials need to be dried within 24–48 hours to keep mold from growing. We extract the water, dry the structure with commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, check moisture daily, and handle mold remediation if mold has already started.

Burien restoration FAQs
Can smoke odor really be removed, or do I have to replace everything?
Most smoke odor can be removed by cleaning the soot off surfaces and then deodorizing the structure and contents. Porous items with heavy smoke damage, such as some upholstery and insulation, may need to be replaced. We test-clean and tell you what can be saved.
Do you board up the house after a fire?
Yes, 24/7. We secure doors, windows and roof openings to protect the house from weather and entry.
Will insurance pay for fire damage restoration?
Fire is covered by most homeowners policies, subject to your deductible and limits. We document the damage and work with most major insurance companies.
