Or call (844) 543-5757 nowGuides on the questions that come up after a fire anywhere from Everett to Olympia: what cleanup costs, what smoke does to a house, what insurance usually pays, and how to tell a real restoration crew from a storm chaser.
These guides are written for homeowners, not adjusters or contractors. They describe how things usually go in Western Washington; your own loss, policy and house decide the specifics, and dispatch will give you a straight answer about your situation any hour of the day.
Questions homeowners ask us
Do these guides apply to wildfire smoke too?
Yes. Several cover smoke that came from outside the house, which has become a yearly event in Puget Sound. The cleanup principles are the same; the insurance picture is different, and the guides say where.
How current are the cost figures?
They are typical Washington ranges for planning. Your estimate depends on the size of the fire, what burned, how far the smoke travelled and whether the fire department's water reached the lower floors.
Smoke in the house?
Call. Dispatch routes a Washington-registered fire restoration crew across King, Snohomish, Pierce and Kitsap counties, 24/7.
