We inventory belongings item by item before pack-out, which protects both you and your claim.
Electronics, fabric, and furniture are treated with entirely different methods, matched to what actually works for each.
Your items stay protected in climate-controlled storage while the rest of the Content Restoration scope is completed.
Items are only returned once cleaning is fully verified, and returns are scheduled around your repair timeline.
A common concern we hear from Elk River families is whether it's even worth trying to save belongings that look badly damaged, and the honest answer is that appearance right after a fire is often misleading about what's actually salvageable.
A heavily sooted item can look like a total loss while the material underneath is completely undamaged, particularly with glass, metal, and sealed wood.
That said, we're upfront when something genuinely isn't salvageable rather than charging to attempt cleaning on an item with no realistic chance of recovery — the goal is an honest assessment, not maximizing billable items.
We provide a written inventory receipt at pack-out so Elk River families have their own copy alongside the one filed with insurance.
Every item is photographed, tagged, and logged into an inventory system before leaving the property.
Dishware, small appliances, and hard-surfaced items go through ultrasonic cleaning tanks that lift soot from crevices standard cleaning misses.
Electronics get ozone or specialized dry-cleaning treatment rather than liquid cleaning, which can cause further internal damage.
Clothing, curtains, and upholstery go through a specialized wash process designed to remove smoke odor without damaging fabric.
Photographs and important documents get individual attention rather than batch processing, since each piece is often irreplaceable.
We clean and refinish furniture pieces that would otherwise be discarded, often restoring them close to original condition.
Our team at +1-866-484-1409 walks you through what to expect before the pack-out even begins.
A pack-out crew typically reaches Elk River properties within a day, with inventory materials and packing supplies ready.
Each category of belongings gets assessed for the appropriate cleaning method, with pricing provided before pack-out begins.
We close out the Content Restoration job by confirming every inventoried item has been returned or accounted for.
