Scott Russell

Owner & President · Since 2007

“These aren’t just walls and floors — they’re people’s homes. Every job we run, we run like it’s ours.”

Scott founded Washington Water Damage & Cleaning Services in 2007 with a simple promise: pick up the phone fast, show up faster, and treat every property like it belongs to family. Nearly two decades later, that same standard runs through every crew on every truck.

Scott personally trains his technicians, keeps the company’s certifications current, and stays involved on large-loss jobs across the Puget Sound region. When you call us, you’re calling a locally owned, owner-operated Washington company — not a national franchise reading from a script.
