Frequently Asked Questions
What can be restored vs. replaced?
Hard goods (furniture, decor, kitchen items) often restore well. Soft goods (clothing, linens) depend on contamination type. Electronics require evaluation—some restore, others need replacement. We assess everything before cleaning.
How do you handle irreplaceable items?
Family photos, documents, and heirlooms receive priority handling. We use freeze-drying for water-damaged papers, hand-cleaning for delicate items, and digital restoration services for damaged photographs.
Is storage included?
Storage fees are separate but typically covered by insurance. Our climate-controlled facility prevents secondary damage during reconstruction.
