Our hearts are with every Spokane County family, business, and first responder affected by this weekendās devastating fires. While crews continue working to protect our communities, SERVPRO of Spokane County is preparing to help property owners navigate the difficult road ahead.
Once authorities determine that a property is safe to access, rebuilding does not always begin immediately. Fire-damaged debris and building materials may first need to be assessed and tested for hazards such as asbestos and lead. Identifying these materials before demolition, cleanup, or reconstruction helps protect property owners, workers, and the surrounding community.
From there, the recovery process may include:
⢠Emergency stabilization and board-up services
⢠Fire, smoke, soot, and water-damage assessment
⢠Coordination of appropriate debris testing and removal
⢠Detailed documentation for the insurance claim
⢠Cleaning, restoration, demolition, and reconstruction
⢠Ongoing communication with property owners, adjusters, and other involved parties
SERVPRO of Spokane County has established working relationships with many insurance carriers and understands the documentation and communication needed throughout a complex fire-loss claim. We can work alongside you and your insurance representativesāfrom the initial damage assessment through restoration and rebuildingāto help keep the process moving forward.
For now, please continue following all evacuation orders and instructions from local emergency officials. When the immediate danger has passed and you are ready to discuss the next steps, our local team is here to help Spokane County recover.
