Bainbridge Island Cleanup and Restoration

Tackling Water Damage and Fire Damage in Bainbridge Island

Bainbridge Island, WA, was formed during the last ice age when the 3,000-foot-thick Vashon Glacier scraped out the Hood Canal and Puget Sound basins. The city is in the Puget Sound Basin, east of the Kitsap Peninsula, and can be accessed on Washington State Route 305. The city is a paradise for outdoor lovers, with miles of breathtaking trails, abundant parks, and waterfront access. Highlights include Battle Point Park, Fort Ward Park, Hawley Cove Park, Sakai Park, and Eagle Harbor Park. Another city highlight is The Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, developed by Cynthia Sears, who started collecting works of art made by island residents. The fictional San Piedro Island in David Guterson's 1994 novel Snow Falling on Cedars draws inspiration from Bainbridge Island. Guterson, who resides here, spent a decade teaching at Bainbridge High School.

Bainbridge Island, WA, hosts public and private schools and innovative educational programs, making it a prime location for families. Institutions include Capt. Johnston Blakely Elementary School, x?alilc (Halilts) Elementary School, Sonoji Sakai Intermediate School, St. Cecilia Catholic School and Hyla School. The island's vibrant community spirit is reflected in its many events, including Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District Indoor Battle of the Paddle on 7 March 2025 at Meadowmeer Dr and Heyday Farm Weekly Community Dinners on 6 January 2025 at Old Mill Road Northeast. 

Understanding Fire Residues and Variables Affecting Restoration

SERVPRO® crews walk through an affected property, observing and documenting the hidden and visible impacts, like smoke odor, soot, ash, and chemical residues. We also determine the variables that influence fire damage restoration.  

Variables That Affect Fire Damage Cleanup:

• Fire type and intensity 
• Duration of a fire
• Materials burned
• Moisture damage

Addressing Moisture Damage after Fire Suppression

In many cases, fire restoration involves dealing with water damage, too, as firefighters use water to extinguish flames. The water can further affect the cleanup process by creating additional issues such as mold or rust. To stop water from causing further ruin, SERVPRO crews thoroughly remove the water and set up dehumidifiers to pull moisture from the air and building materials. 

SERVPRO handles fire and water damage cleanup with expertise.
