Water Damage and Fire Damage Cleanup in Happy Valley, Washington

Most of the early residents of Happy Valley worked in lumber mills, mines, and salmon canneries. Most of the growth of the locality can be attributed to the growth of Western Washington University, which saw the location grow from a residential area for single families in the 1960s to the development of high-density student housing, all leading to its incorporation in 1965. The evidence of this is the area's high growth rates and increasing population.

Some parts of the locality are still preserved as open spaces and parklands, mostly in the Happy Valley Park and Connelly Creek Nature Area. These areas have several trails that connect them, which makes for great hiking adventures. Water damage and fire damage are occurrences capable of leaving the residents of Happy Valley in destitute situations emanating from the loss of property, the cost of restoration, and the halting of daily activities. To help you overcome this, SERVPRO has a local station that handles everything for you.

Deodorant Pairing Agents

After damage, handling the malodors is vital in determining how habitable the house can be afterward. The deodorants we use to deal with them are pairing agents that combine with the particles causing the odors. There are two types of pairing agents, all interacting with the odor particles in different ways:

• Humectants are highly absorbent materials. They combine with the airborne odor particles and then precipitate them to the surface where we can clean them up. This process works better with wet fogging.
• Counteractants or neutralizers work by combining with the odor particles chemically. This changes their chemical properties, be they molecules, or destroys them if they are bacteria. It is in this manner that thermal fogging works.

However, SERVPRO's process of removing the odors is based on understanding the causes and how they permeate the structure. Due to this, the process for water damage and fire damage varies from place to place and in different situations.

Please call SERVPRO for restoration services. There are numerous restaurants in this area, but Gustav's and De Fuego Grille can give you a good taste of the locality.
