The service timeline
Our Contents Cleaning and Restoration Process
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Assessment
A technician walks your home with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera, tags affected contents, and photographs everything. We separate items into restore, clean-only, and non-salvageable piles. This usually takes 45-90 minutes depending on how much was exposed.
Pack-Out
Salvageable contents are wrapped, boxed, and barcoded, then moved to our climate-controlled cleaning facility. Delicate items like electronics and artwork get custom crating. You receive an inventory list the same day, typically within 4-6 hours of pack-out.
Cleaning and Drying
Each item is cleaned according to its material. Upholstery gets hot-water extraction, hard goods get ultrasonic or hand cleaning, documents go through freeze-drying or desiccant chambers. Drying runs 2-5 days depending on density and water saturation.
Deodorization
After cleaning, contents pass through a deodorization chamber using hydroxyl generators and, where safe, ozone. We verify with an inspection camera and infrared thermometer that no moisture or odor remains before releasing items back to you.
Pack-Back
We return every inventoried item to its original room, reassemble furniture, and walk the home with you to confirm nothing is missing or damaged. Pack-back is scheduled within 24 hours of your final approval.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use for Contents Restoration
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.

Reads moisture content in wood, fabric, and drywall to decide what needs drying and when it is done.
Thermal Imaging Camera
Shows temperature differences that reveal hidden moisture behind walls and inside furniture without taking anything apart.

Pulls moisture from the air in our drying chamber to dry documents and dense contents faster than refrigerant units alone.
Hydroxyl Generator
Neutralizes odor molecules in contents without the safety restrictions of ozone, safe for most materials.

Inspection Camera
Lets us look inside walls, cabinets, and electronics to verify no moisture or mold remains before pack-back.
Infrared Thermometer
Confirms surface temperatures on contents during drying to catch cold spots where moisture lingers.
