We inventory belongings item by item before pack-out, which protects both you and your claim.
Ultrasonic cleaning for hard items, specialized wash cycles for textiles, and ozone treatment for electronics — each material gets the right process.
Your items stay protected in climate-controlled storage while the rest of the Content Restoration scope is completed.
We coordinate the return of belongings so they come back once your home is actually ready for them.
A common concern we hear from Watkins 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.
We won't invoice for cleaning attempts on items where the material itself, not just the surface, has been compromised beyond repair — the goal is an honest assessment, not maximizing billable items.
We provide a written inventory receipt at pack-out so Watkins families have their own copy alongside the one filed with insurance.
We build a documented inventory of every item removed, which becomes part of your insurance file.
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.
Textiles get treated with a wash process built specifically for smoke residue, different from a standard laundry cycle.
Photographs and important documents get individual attention rather than batch processing, since each piece is often irreplaceable.
Wood furniture gets cleaned and, where needed, refinished to remove smoke staining and odor from the material.
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 Watkins properties within a day, with inventory materials and packing supplies ready.
We estimate Content Restoration costs by item category, so you know roughly what to expect before anything leaves the property.
