What NOT To Do

These are the most common mistakes that worsen damage and complicate your insurance claim.

DO NOT:Don't dry wet contents with high heat

High heat damages electronics, warps wood furniture, and sets stains in fabric. Professional drying uses controlled temperature and humidity.

DO NOT:Don't attempt to clean smoke-damaged items with bleach

Bleach can permanently discolor and damage smoke-affected materials. Professional cleaning uses service-specific chemistry.

DO NOT:Don't assume damaged items can't be saved

Professional contents restoration saves far more than homeowners expect — including electronics, documents, art, and soft goods.

Not sure if something is safe to do? Call us at (757) 285-5963 before acting. We'd rather answer a question than have you make the damage worse.
