24/7 Fire and Water Mitigation for Bremerton Area Restaurants and Eateries

When a restaurant in Bremerton faces fire damage, it's rarely just the fire that causes problems. Suppression systems kick in fast, soaking the kitchen and nearby areas with water. That means what starts with heat and smoke quickly turns into a mess of charred surfaces, ash, and wet structural materials.

SERVPRO® knows how to handle both sides of the problem. As one of Bremerton's leading commercial restoration companies, we move fast to limit damage from commercial eatery fires and suppression systems, protect building materials, and restore business operations while reducing overall downtime.

Structural Damage Caused by Fire and Water

When kitchens burn, they leave behind more than blackened surfaces. Cooking fires, in particular, create dense, protein-based residues that cling to metal, tile, and stainless steel. Meanwhile, sprinkler systems cause water damage that spreads well beyond the fire zone.

Some of the most common issues include:

• Swollen cabinets, warped baseboards and grout, and damaged adhesives
• Soaked drywall and ceiling tiles
• Charred or blistered surfaces on kitchen hoods, ducts, and prep stations
• Greasy soot deposits that bond to textured walls and tile grout
• Odors absorbed into HVAC ducts and ceiling insulation

Fire and sprinkler damage in a restaurant requires precise action. Within minutes, water from suppression systems begins to soak through walls and flooring. If not handled quickly, moisture seeps into the subflooring, drywall, and nearby food storage areas. One critical detail to note, especially for commercial kitchen fires, is that soot becomes corrosive when in contact with water, which can prove highly damaging to metal surfaces like stainless steel cookware, appliances, and countertops.

Professional Cleanup Solutions with Dedicated Fire and Water Mitigation Tools

To mitigate both moisture and soot damage, our team follows a coordinated plan using the following:

• Carefully positioned high-velocity air movers and LGR dehumidifiers to dry water-damaged surfaces
• Soda ash blasting and dry ice blasting to remove charring from stainless steel and brick
• OSHA-approved enzyme and solvent-based cleaning for greasy protein residues and fire damage on appliances and tile
• Thermal fogging systems to neutralize odors within wall cavities and ductwork
• HVAC cleaning using HEPA-filtered vacuums and pressurized air whips to clear smoke and ash buildup
