Every item removed from the property is photographed and logged before it leaves, creating a clear record for you and your insurer.
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 Gaithersburg 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 Gaithersburg 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.
Ultrasonic cleaning reaches into grooves and joints that hand-cleaning simply can't access.
We avoid liquid cleaning on electronics entirely, using ozone and dry methods instead to protect internal components.
Textiles get treated with a wash process built specifically for smoke residue, different from a standard laundry cycle.
Water-damaged or smoke-affected photographs and paper documents are handled individually using specialized drying and cleaning techniques.
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.
Our team arrives prepared to begin the documented inventory process immediately.
Each category of belongings gets assessed for the appropriate cleaning method, with pricing provided before pack-out begins.
Items are only returned once cleaning is verified complete, matched against the original inventory.
