Contents Pack-Out and Inventory
When extensive remediation or reconstruction is needed, personal contents are removed through a documented pack-out: every item inventoried, photographed, categorized by restoration method, and transported to climate-controlled storage. The inventory is formatted for your carrier's contents claim process with pre-loss value estimates and restoration-versus-replacement recommendations. Chain-of-custody documentation tracks every item.
Specialized Restoration Techniques
Textile items undergo ozone treatment and specialized laundering. Electronics are cleaned ultrasonically, removing soot from circuit boards without moisture damage. Wood furniture is cleaned with solvent-based solutions matched to the finish type. Documents, photographs, and paper items damaged during fire suppression are stabilized through freeze-drying — a vacuum sublimation process that removes moisture without warping or mold growth. For irreplaceable items, our partners coordinate with specialized document and art restoration facilities.
Insurance and Contents Claims
Contents restoration is almost always more cost-effective for the carrier than replacement, and carriers process these claims favorably. Your Coverage C covers professional cleaning, restoration, and storage. Our partners prepare documentation in your carrier's required format, including before-and-after photographs of restored items.
