What Makes Santa Rosa Different

Santa Rosa lives with wildfire. The Tubbs Fire in October 2017 burned thousands of homes in the city, including whole blocks of Coffey Park, and later fires have brought evacuations and heavy smoke to the county again. Smoke damage reaches far beyond the burn line. Soot and odor get into walls, ducts, insulation and fabrics, and cleaning it well takes the right tools and methods.

After a fire, burned homes and their ash can hold asbestos, lead and other harmful debris. Do not sift through a burned home without a respirator, gloves and full body cover, and follow county rules for debris removal. For a home that only took smoke, change the furnace filter, keep windows shut on bad air days and have the ducts checked before you run the system hard.

Winters bring the other risk. Strong Pacific storms can drop heavy rain on the hills, and the Russian River and local creeks can rise over their banks. Homes in the river towns flood from time to time, and river water is always contaminated. Soaked drywall, insulation and carpet should come out rather than be dried in place.
