Fire Damage Restoration FAQs

What should I do immediately after a house fire?
Once the fire department clears the scene, contact your insurance company and Sierra James Construction’s disaster restoration team to begin cleanup and recovery.

Should I enter my home after the fire?
Not until it’s cleared to enter by fire officials or a structural professional. Fire weakens walls, ceilings, floors, and lingering smoke can pose health risks. Additionally, it’s best to have a restoration company guide you through the re-entry process to avoid causing additional loss and to help guide you through the documentation process for insurance.

Can you work directly with my insurance company?
Yes. We provide full documentation, detailed estimates, and communication with your insurer to streamline the claims process.

What happens to my belongings?
Our specialized Fire & Contents Department inventories, packs, and stores salvageable items in our climate-controlled storage facility. We clean and restore what’s possible and help you document non-restorable losses.

Can smoke and soot odors be completely removed?
Yes. With advanced cleaning methods and air purification systems, we remove soot and smoke odors from walls, ceilings, ductwork, and contents.

Do you handle both cleanup and reconstruction?
Yes. From emergency board-up and debris removal to complete repairs and rebuilding, Sierra James provides full-service fire restoration.

Is the air safe to breathe after a fire?
Not until professional cleaning is complete. Fire leaves behind soot and harmful particulates.

Will I need to relocate during restoration?
In many cases, yes. You will need to discuss your relocation plan with your insurance provider for coordination.

Why choose a disaster restoration company instead of a general contractor?
Fire restoration requires specialized training, equipment, and certifications for smoke removal, odor control, and insurance navigation. Sierra James Construction has multiple IICRC Triple Master Certified technicians, a distinction few companies in Central Oregon have.

“We worked with Sierra James over an eight-month period to mitigate fire damage to one of our rental homes. Our insurance company assigned us three different adjusters and delayed our progress for months. During all this time Sierra James was an advocate for us with State Farm. Their mitigation and restoration team members were competent and professional. I recommend them highly.”

Andy Tillman

“From the moment we chose Sierra James for our post house fire work, we were met with an amazing crew of early assessment and repair managers who very carefully and thoroughly explained how the necessary work and timing would take place. (read more)

Ginny Lyford

“Not a lot of folks have had as much service from Sierra James as I’ve had. I lost my home in a fire nearly 2 years ago. I struggled to find a restoration company that I felt would deliver on all aspects of the rebuilding process. When selecting a company, your insurance will likely have a list of some preferred vendors to perform the work, these are usually more advantageous to them in some way. Sierra James was not on that list, but one of the insurance agents went out of their way to recommend them due to their reputation for obtaining outstanding results.” (read more)

Hugh Treinen

“As we sit here reflecting on our experience it brings back memories from heartache because of the fire to our home to how much your team did for us to eliminate those feelings to how much joy we are now feeling.

Jesse and your team met with us the next morning after contacting your office about our house fire. At that time, we really did not know how wonderful that relationship would be…

The fire fighters saved our home from being destroyed, and your team rebuilt it.” (read more)

Water Damage Restoration

Burst pipes, leaks, and flooding require immediate action. We remove water, dry your home or business, and mitigate mold.

Fast, professional help when water strikes. Whether from frozen pipes, leaking appliances, or storm damage, water losses are disruptive and overwhelming. Quick action is critical. If left untreated, water can destroy building materials, compromise structural integrity, and create conditions for mold within 24 – 48 hours.

That’s why Sierra James Construction provides 24/7 emergency water damage restoration across Central Oregon. Our certified disaster restoration specialists guide you through every step of recovery, restoring your home or business to pre-loss condition, or better, with care, expertise, and compassion.

Water Loss FAQ’s

How soon should I call after a water loss?
Immediately. Our IICRC Triple Master Certified technicians respond 24/7 with specialized equipment to extract water, identify hidden moisture, and prevent secondary damage like mold growth.

What should I do right after a water loss?

Contact both your insurance company and Sierra James for immediate emergency response.
If safe to do so, shut off the water source and turn off electricity in affected areas
Elevate furniture and remove items from wet spaces
Begin documenting damage for insurance

Will my insurance cover water damage?
Most policies cover sudden, accidental water losses (such as burst pipes), but not long-term leaks or outside flooding. We’ll help document the damage and work directly with your insurance adjuster.

Can you work directly with my insurance company?
Yes. We provide full documentation, detailed estimates, and communication with your insurer to streamline the claims process.

Will water damage lead to mold?
If not handled quickly, yes. Mold can begin developing within 24 – 48 hours. Rapid drying and proper remediation are essential to protect your home.

What happens during the restoration process?

Moisture Mapping – Determines the extent of the water saturation.
Water Extraction – Removal of standing water using pumps and vacuums
Drying & Dehumidification – Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers target hidden moisture
Cleaning & Disinfecting – Surfaces are sanitized to remove contaminants and odors
Repairs & Reconstruction – Drywall, flooring, and structural elements are restored

Is it safe to stay in my home during the process?

“I can’t speak highly enough of this company. When we had a refrigerator line leak, they responded promptly and took swift action. Kealib and Hannah were exceptional to work with, and I’m incredibly grateful for their time and effort, especially in coordinating with our insurance provider. As a real estate agent, I’ve already referred them to three clients and will continue to recommend their outstanding services.“

Jennifer Cornelius

“We had a leak in our crawlspace that Sierra James, and specifically Seth and his team, led the restoration on. We were extremely satisfied with the level of service. They were easy to schedule very quickly, on time, very communicative (over text and email), and we felt like we knew exactly what would happen when. We were also happy with the quality of the product. Even after the remediation and repairs were done, they were good partners for us in working directly with our insurance. We could not recommend them enough.”

Casey Taylor

“We are extremely happy with the professionalism and courtesy of our mitigation project manager Kailib from Sierra James. We experienced a freeze break and the ensuing mess! Kailib was fantastic!”

Rodney Hatch

“Sierra James was very responsive, brought in skilled professionals to address some water damage to our beautiful wood floors. This required removing water from damage boards and removal of insulation in crawl space. They always answered calls and were responsive to questions. Worked well with Insurance Company.”

Margaret Stulbarg

“Sierra James has helped us with various water damage emergencies. They are always quick to respond, and so nice to work with. Their kindness and professionalism make working with them so easy, and they do great quality work. I highly recommend them!”

Mold Remediation

Certified experts identify, contain, and eliminate mold growth to restore safe, healthy air quality.

After a water loss, mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours. According to the EPA, indoor mold growth can cause structural damage and trigger health problems such as allergies, asthma, and respiratory irritation. Left untreated, it spreads quickly and becomes more costly to remove.

At Sierra James Construction, our IICRC Triple Master Certified technicians provide professional mold inspection, prevention, and remediation throughout Central Oregon. We coordinate leak detection and hidden moisture, contain the spread, remediate mold, and restore safe indoor air quality.

Our Mold Services:

Mold inspection & testing coordination
Containment & air filtration
Safe mold removal & disinfection
Contents cleaning & odor removal
Repairs to affected structures

Why Choose Sierra James for Mold Remediation?

Certified experts trained in mold-specific restoration
Advanced drying and moisture detection tools to prevent hidden issues
Locally owned and community-trusted
Direct insurance coordination for covered losses

Mold Remediation FAQs

How quickly does mold grow after water damage?
Mold can begin developing within 24 – 48 hours if moisture isn’t removed.

Is mold dangerous to my health?
It can be. Mold spores can aggravate asthma, allergies, and respiratory issues.

Will my insurance cover mold remediation?
It depends on your policy. Sudden water-related mold is often covered, while long-term deferred maintenance is not.

📞 Call 24/7 (541) 306-3775 for Mold Remediation in Bend, Redmond, Madras, Prineville, Sisters, Sunriver, LaPine, Gilcrest, Tumalo, and Crescent.

“Our experience with Sierra James was excellent. Our plumber referred us when he found water and mold damage in our kitchen. We used Sierra James for mold mitigation and then for repairs once demolition was completed in the kitchen. My favorite part was their ability to communicate directly with my insurance agent from Country Financial to make the insurance reimbursement process smoother. The kitchen came out great, and I’m grateful for everyone’s help and hard work at Sierra James.”

Molly Blackburn

“When we discovered a major water leak in our shower with severe subfloor damage, Sierra James proved to be the perfect solution. The demolition and remediation process was outstanding, with immediate communication that kept us informed every step of the way—including identifying the exact cause of the leak. The rebuild moved forward in a timely and extremely professional manner. Communication remained excellent throughout, keeping us updated on progress and options. The finish work was first class and much better than the original. Sierra James is as good as it gets for rebuilds, mold remediation, and renovations. If you ever need their services, you will not be disappointed—and you’ll make some good friends in the process.”

Toni Lopez

“We had a complete failure of the hot water pipes in our fairly new custom home. The problem was unseen and unheard, so we had water damage as well as mold and mildew that needed to be addressed. Sierra James was incredibly responsive and did a great job. When you experience a loss to your property like this there are a lot of details you need to figure out, and Sierra James was always one step ahead of us, guiding us the entire way. I highly recommend them for any construction or mitigation projects!”

Wanda Simmons

“We had a tree fall on our home causing significant damage. Sierra James was very efficient and professional and feel we could not have picked a better company for the reconstruction. They have gone above and beyond expectations.”

Arlene Gannon

“After lunch on a Friday afternoon, a car penetrated our commercial building. By close of business for the week, they had secured the building.

Multifamily + HOA: Inspection & Restoration

HOA & Multifamily Building Envelope & Moisture Intrusion Inspections

We provide certified inspection, documentation, and repair planning to prevent moisture intrusion, protect property value, and maintain compliance with Oregon HB 3746.

Sierra James Construction provides certified building envelope inspections, moisture intrusion reporting, and restoration services for HOAs, Condo Associations, and Multifamily communities across Central Oregon. Our inspections identify leaks, envelope failures, and potential construction defects early, before they lead to dry rot, structural damage, mold growth, and costly special assessments.

Beginning in 2026, Oregon HB 3746 reduces the construction-defect claim period from 10 years to 7 and requires independent moisture intrusion inspections at developer turnover. Inspection credentials and documentation must be submitted to the association. Communities that skip or delay inspections risk losing legal protections and facing expensive repair liabilities later.

We inspect, document, and produce a report on the recommended remediation scope of work. Sierra James is a full service builder capable of identifying deficiencies and will return the structure to pre-loss condition.

Typical Inspection Scope

Patio-to-Structure Connections
Exterior Window and Door Flashings
Beam Flashings
Light Blocks & Hose Bib Blocks
Sealants
Meter & Gas Base Penetrations
HVAC & Mechanical Vent Penetrations
Bath & Kitchen Vent Terminations
Roof-to-Gutter Connections
Kickout Flashings & Sealant Transitions
Roof-to-Chimney Intersections
Gable Return Trim Connections
Roof Flashings & Penetrations
Passive Roof Venting
Plumbing Vent Locations & Conditions
Ridge Venting & Shingle Condition
Bird Blocking & Attic Venting Conditions
Paint Condition & Adhesion
Siding & Cladding Installation
Failing Structural Members
Foundations & Decks

Multifamily + HOA: Inspection & Restoration FAQs

What is a building envelope inspection?
A building envelope inspection evaluates the protective exterior shell of a structure, including siding, roofing, flashing, windows, doors, sealants, and moisture barriers. The purpose is to detect existing leaks and identify vulnerabilities before they lead to water intrusion, dry rot, or structural damage.

Why are envelope inspections important for HOAs and Multifamily communities?
Shared building systems mean that one hidden leak can affect multiple units. Routine inspections help prevent moisture intrusion, reduce liability, protect reserve funds, and avoid special assessments. They also support compliance with Oregon HB 3746 inspection and documentation requirements.

What issues are commonly found during envelope inspections?
Typical defects include failed sealants, improper flashing, damaged siding, clogged gutters, window leaks, missing weather barriers, and trapped moisture behind exterior materials, all of which can result in dry rot, mold growth, and premature building failure.

How often should our community schedule inspections?
Most buildings benefit from inspections every 1–3 years, depending on age, climate exposure, and maintenance history. Central Oregon’s freeze–thaw cycles, sun exposure, and wind-driven rain make routine inspections especially important.

Can Sierra James complete repairs if issues are found?
Yes. Our team performs targeted repairs as well as complete siding restoration, dry rot remediation, structural repairs, and envelope reconstruction when needed. This ensures continuity from inspection through restoration.

Will residents need to be home?
Usually, no. Most inspections occur from the exterior. If interior access is required to trace active leaks, we coordinate scheduling in advance through the properties management liaison.

How do we get started?
Contact us to schedule an inspection consultation. We’ll assess your property, outline scope, and provide a customized proposal for your property.

Proudly serving HOAs, Multifamily Communities, and Condo Associations in Bend, Redmond, Sisters, Sunriver, La Pine, Prineville, Tumalo & Madras.
