Every item removed from the property is photographed and logged before it leaves, creating a clear record for you and your insurer.
Electronics, fabric, and furniture are treated with entirely different methods, matched to what actually works for each.
Belongings are stored in a secure, climate-controlled facility during restoration and repair of your Clifton property.
Items are only returned once cleaning is fully verified, and returns are scheduled around your repair timeline.
A common concern we hear from Clifton 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.
Soot sitting on the surface of an item for a short time often looks worse than the underlying damage actually is, especially on hard, non-porous materials.
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.
Every Clifton pack-out includes a signed inventory receipt for your own records, separate from the copy we send to your insurer.
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.

Water-damaged or smoke-affected photographs and paper documents are handled individually using specialized drying and cleaning techniques.
