Robinson Restoration is an IICRC-certified water damage restoration company serving Everett, WA. Crews dispatch 24 hours a day, arrive on-site in 90 minutes or less, document the readings and photos your carrier needs, and bill your insurance directly on covered claims.
From the Craftsman blocks north of downtown to the apartment corridors on the south end, Everett has just about every kind of building a water loss can happen in. Our crews handle all of them: single-family, multifamily, and commercial, with 24/7 dispatch and equipment on the truck when they arrive.
The city sits on a peninsula between Port Gardner Bay and the Snohomish River delta, which means saltwater on one side and a floodplain on the other. North Everett holds early-century Craftsman and Victorian homes with original plumbing and full basements. South Everett skews mid-century ranchers, split-levels, and a dense stock of apartments and condos built from the sixties onward. Add a wet, windy winter and the failure modes stack up fast.
We dispatch 24/7 and our crews work Snohomish County out of the Kent operations center. Everything runs to IICRC standards: initial moisture mapping, a documented drying plan, daily readings, and a photo record that follows the job start to finish. We bill your carrier directly. On apartment and commercial losses we coordinate with property managers, phase the work to keep tenants in place where possible, and hand over the documentation each party's insurer needs.
Staffed dispatch takes Everett calls at any hour, and crews carry enough drying equipment for a single unit or an entire building floor.
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, our crews dispatch the moment you call and start mitigation the same visit. Call dispatch or message us for immediate help.
We stop further damage with commercial extraction, structural drying, and antimicrobial treatment, and we walk you through the entire insurance claim as we work.
We manage your rebuild to pre-damaged condition through our trusted network of licensed contractors and sister companies. One manager, one timeline.
The Craftsman and four-square houses on the north end were built with full basements, plaster over lath, and plumbing that has been patched across four generations. Cast iron drains crack at the hub, old supply lines fail at threaded joints, and plaster hides moisture longer than drywall does. Drying these houses takes instruments and patience rather than a fleet of fans pointed at a wall.
South Everett has a large multifamily stock, and one failed hose on an upper floor can affect four units and the corridor between them. Speed and containment matter as much as extraction. We isolate the affected area, dry the shared floor and ceiling assemblies from both sides, and document unit by unit so the owner's policy and the tenants' renters coverage each have what they need.
The Snohomish River delta east and north of the city carries high water in winter and during spring melt. Properties on the low ground near the river and the sloughs deal with groundwater pushing up through slabs and crawlspaces long before any river actually leaves its channel. Sump failure during a power outage is a common way that becomes an interior flood.
Everett runs on aerospace, the port, the naval station, and the trades that support them, which means a lot of shift workers and a lot of commercial square footage. Losses get discovered late in shift-work households, and a commercial dry-out has to fit around production. We schedule around it and set containment so the parts of a building that can operate keep operating.
Most of the losses we run in Everett start one of three ways: burst and leaking pipes, appliance failures, and sewage backups. Here is why each one happens here, and what it takes to dry it properly.
Original galvanized and cast iron are still in service in a lot of north Everett houses. Those systems fail at joints inside walls and under floors, often flooding a full basement before anyone notices.
Dense apartment and condo stock means stacked laundry closets and dishwashers above finished ceilings. A single burst supply hose sends water through the floor assembly and into the units underneath.
Older neighborhoods have older side sewers, and root intrusion plus a saturated winter ground line leads to backups into basement fixtures. That's category three water and it needs full containment and disinfection.
Water is how most losses start. It’s rarely where they end. The same local crew handles all of it.
Three real projects, photo-documented for the insurance carrier and backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty. Drag each handle to compare.
“One of the pipes in the shower burst and water damage got all over the roof in the kitchen. As new home owners we were very scared and panicked. We contacted Kelly Farmer from Robinson Restoration and believe me when I say I felt like more than half of my problem was solved.”

“Just started a project with Cole and Chuck at Robinson Restoration and had to write a review straight away. These guys have been fantastic. We were away on a week long trip when we had a kitchen leak that destroyed our flooring and subfloor.”

“I want to express our sincere gratitude to the Robinson team that quickly moved to identify, rectify, repair, and then clean up the mess left by an itty-bitty hot water leak that went unnoticed because of its location.”

In Washington, you choose your restoration contractor, and your carrier can’t penalize you for it. We document every Everett loss with moisture maps, photos, and daily readings, then bill your insurer directly. You pay your deductible. That’s it.
Subject to policy coverage and deductible. We handle the paperwork, photos, and adjuster calls.
Ask for help once and the same crew stays with the job from extraction through final drying. Robinson covers Everett with a north Sound crew, and a live dispatcher takes overnight calls. Trucks show up loaded with extraction units, air movers, dehumidifiers, and meters to map how far the water spread. We invoice your insurance carrier directly and attach photos and readings.
Dispatch is live 24/7 and we target on-site in 90 minutes for Everett addresses. If it's an apartment building or a commercial space, tell dispatch the unit count and whether the water is still running, because that changes what equipment loads on the truck. While we're en route you'll get instructions for shutting off the supply and keeping people out of standing water near electrical.
Often, if we reach it before it's been saturated for days. Plaster over lath dries slower than drywall and holds moisture in the keys behind the lath, so we monitor it with penetrating meters rather than trusting how the surface feels. Sound plaster that's dried properly can stay. Plaster that has softened, delaminated from the lath, or lost its bond needs to come out.
Regularly. Everett has a lot of multifamily, and those losses usually involve the building's policy, one or more unit owners, and sometimes tenant renters coverage. We document by unit and by assembly, provide separate photo and moisture sets, and keep one project contact so you're not relaying information between three adjusters. Tenant communication and equipment placement get scheduled with you in advance.
No, and it's the one loss type we'd push back on hardest. Category three water carries bacteria and viruses, and it soaks into porous material that can't be disinfected in place. Carpet, pad, and affected drywall come out. Everything else gets cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial, then dried and verified. Everett's older side sewers make this a routine call for us during wet months.
Sudden and accidental water damage is normally covered, which includes a burst pipe, a failed appliance hose, or a water heater letting go. Long-term seepage and deferred maintenance usually are not. Sewer backup often needs an endorsement. We bill Everett carriers directly and give the adjuster a complete file, so the coverage decision gets made on documented facts.
Robinson manages it. Reconstruction is coordinated through vetted licensed contractors and sister companies, so the same team that dried your Everett property carries the job through repairs. That covers drywall, texture, flooring, trim, paint, and cabinetry as the scope requires. We match the carrier's approved estimate, sequence the trades, and stay the single point of contact until the space is back in use.
Water spreads through an Everett building faster than most people expect. Call our 24/7 line now.
