Emergency Board Up and Roof Tarping in Seattle, WA

After the fire department leaves, the building is open. Windows are broken out for ventilation, doors are forced, and the roof usually has holes cut in it. Those holes were the right call during the fire and they are a liability the moment the trucks pull away.

Most policies require the owner to prevent further damage. Rain into an already soot-loaded structure turns dry residue into a smeared mess that has to be replaced rather than cleaned, and an unsecured building invites everything else.

Emberline Restoration responds around the clock across Seattle, WA. Openings get boarded with fastened panels rather than propped sheets. Roof breaches get reinforced tarps mechanically fastened to sound decking and sealed at the seams so wind driven rain does not run underneath. Where the structure is unsafe we say so and fence rather than sending people inside.

We photograph everything before and during, which documents the original condition for your adjuster and proves you mitigated.

This is protection, not repair. It buys the days you need. Call Emberline Restoration at (888) 773-0161.

How it works

From your call to a clean building

01

Call and secure

Openings boarded and the roof tarped the same night so the building stops taking weather.

02

Identify the residue

Dry soot, wet soot and protein residue need opposite methods. Getting it wrong is permanent.

03

Clean and deodorize

Top down under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, then ductwork, then odor treatment.

04

Document and restore

Photos and scope go to your adjuster, then repairs put the building back.

Emergency Board Up And Roof Tarping FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Emergency Board Up and Roof Tarping

Questions we hear most often about Emergency Board Up and Roof Tarping in Seattle, WA.

Talk to a real person
Can I go back in and start cleaning myself?
We would rather you did not, and not only for safety. Wiping soot with a damp cloth drives it into porous surfaces and turns a cleanable wall into a replaceable one. Dry soot and wet soot need opposite methods, and getting it wrong is usually permanent.
Why does my house still smell after it was cleaned?
Almost always the ductwork. If the air handler ran at any point, the system pulled smoke in and pushed it through the building, and it keeps redistributing odor every time it cycles. The rooms get cleaned and the system feeding them does not.
Is the water damage covered too?
Suppression water is generally handled as part of the same fire claim rather than as a separate water claim, though policies vary. What matters practically is that drying and soot cleanup run together, since water sitting in a soot loaded building grows mold within a couple of days.
Can we stay in the house during the work?
Sometimes, depending on the extent and whether containment can separate the work area from where you live. Ozone treatment rules that out entirely for the duration. Hydroxyl generators are the occupied space alternative and we use those where people are staying.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
Yes, and we phase it so parts of the building reopen while the heavily affected zones stay under containment. Offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses and multi-unit residential. Restaurant work includes hood and grease duct systems. Call (888) 773-0161.
