Once structural drying starts, your furniture, clothing, boxes of photos, and everything else in the affected rooms need somewhere safe to go — somewhere they can actually be cleaned and won't be in the way of drying equipment.
Contents restoration is that service. We remove your belongings from the affected area, document every item, clean and treat what can be saved, and store it off-site until your home is ready.
It's a detail-heavy job, and we treat it that way. A missing item or an undocumented piece of furniture is a headache you don't need on top of everything else — so we track everything from the moment it leaves your home.
When You Need Contents Restoration
- Structural drying equipment needs the room cleared before it can run
- Furniture, boxes, or belongings sat in or near standing water
- You need a documented inventory for your insurance claim
- Smoke, sewage, or mold odor has affected fabric or upholstered items
- You don't have anywhere safe to store belongings during repairs
How Contents Restoration Works
- 1
Assess & photograph
Before anything moves, we photograph and log the condition of each item — the record that protects you if there's ever a question about what was affected.
- 2
Pack out
Items are carefully packed, labeled, and moved out of the work area, whether that's to another room or off-site.
- 3
Inventory
Every box and piece of furniture is logged in a detailed inventory list, which we can also provide to your insurance adjuster.
- 4
Clean & treat
Washable items, upholstery, and hard goods are cleaned and treated for odor or contamination depending on the type of loss.
- 5
Store & return
Restored items are stored securely until your home is ready, then packed back in and placed where you want them.

What Affects Contents Restoration Cost
We provide a written estimate once we've assessed what needs to be packed out. Cost depends on:

- How many items need specialized cleaning versus a standard wipe-down
- Length of off-site storage needed while the home is repaired
