Water and fire damage doesn't just affect a home's structure — it damages belongings too. Content restoration contractors can save many items that appear ruined, often at a fraction of replacement cost.

What Contractors Can Restore

Documents & Photos • Freeze-drying and vacuum drying for water-damaged papers • Document scanning and digitization • Photo restoration and reprinting • Important records recovery (deeds, certificates, tax documents)

Electronics • Professional drying and corrosion treatment • Component-level cleaning • Data recovery from water-damaged devices • Testing and certification before return

Furniture & Upholstery • Water extraction from cushions and fabrics • Antimicrobial treatment • Odor removal • Refinishing for wood furniture

Specialty Items • Artwork and antiques • Musical instruments • Clothing and textiles (commercial laundry and ozone treatment) • Rugs and carpets

What to Expect from the Content Restoration Process

1. **Inventory** — The contractor documents every item with photos and condition notes for the insurance claim 2. Pack-out — Items are carefully packed and transported to the contractor's climate-controlled facility 3. Cleaning & restoration — Each item receives the appropriate treatment based on material and damage type 4. Storage — Items are stored safely while the home is being repaired 5. Pack-back — Once the home is ready, the contractor returns and places all items

Why Content Restoration Saves Money

Insurance covers restoration at actual cost, which is almost always less than replacement value. Restoring a $3,000 sofa might cost $500, saving the insurance carrier (and the homeowner's deductible) significantly. The contractor handles the documentation that makes those numbers stick.

Frequently Asked Questions

What items can typically be restored after water damage?
Most hard goods (furniture, electronics, appliances), documents, photos, and clothing can be restored if the contractor begins treatment promptly. Porous items soaked in contaminated water may need replacement.
How long does content restoration take?
Most items are restored within 1-3 weeks. Document freeze-drying and specialty items may take longer.
Does insurance cover content restoration?
Yes. A homeowners policy covers restoration of personal property damaged by covered events. Most restoration contractors document the items and work with the carrier directly, but confirm that before any pack-out begins.
