Water can damage furniture, clothing, electronics, documents, and household belongings even when the building itself can be restored. Proper contents handling helps determine what can be salvaged and what cannot.
What the Job Involves
Affected belongings are inspected and separated based on their condition and material. Salvageable contents may be cleaned, dried, deodorized, and treated using methods appropriate for the item.
Signs You Need It
- Furniture exposed to water
- Wet clothing or household items
- Water-damaged boxes and belongings
- Musty or moldy odors on contents
- Stained or contaminated items
- Belongings stored in flooded areas
How the Work Goes
Contents are documented and evaluated before restoration begins. Items that can be saved are carefully removed, cleaned, dried, and deodorized when needed. Severely damaged or contaminated materials may require disposal rather than restoration.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on the quantity and type of contents, level of water exposure, cleaning requirements, contamination, transportation, and specialized handling. Fragile or heavily damaged items may require additional restoration work.
