Protecting Personal Belongings After Glen Cove Water Damage
12/19/2022 (Permalink)
Needed Actions for Contents Suffering Water Damage
Water can be destructive and overwhelming to your household in hundreds of ways. Our SERVPRO professionals work fast to respond to these emergencies, complete with needed mitigation and restoration solutions designed to protect the structure and its contents. From the time that our team first arrives, we work to reduce content damage.
Mitigation Protects Contents
Water damage to Glen Cove homes impacts the structure and its contents simultaneously. Contents can be challenging to clean and prevent irreparable harm without fast and direct mitigation strategies. For instance, containment and relocation can help get some of your most favored possessions out of the damage path. Similarly, focusing quickly on standing water removal can also reduce the impact on personal belongings.
Content Claim Inventory and Documentation
Knowing the condition and the salvageability of your belongings is an important piece of information for restoration professionals and insurance providers. Much of the content claim inventory service our SERVPRO team conducts is to determine the actions needed to recover damaged belongings and whether some of these items are still salvageable. Insurance adjusters can use this information as part of the approved damage claim.
Cleaning Your Belongings Off-Site
When your possessions cannot be cleaned and restored on-site, we offer a pack-out service to transport them to our SERVPRO warehouse for focused cleanup and attention. Beyond safe, climate-controlled storage at our facility, we can provide more intricate:
- Drying
- Deodorization
- Surface Cleaning
- Disinfection
Your contents are often more valuable to you than much of the residence itself. We do whatever possible to ensure that your belongings are cleaned, dried, and ready to return to your home when restoration completes. Give our SERVPRO of Glen Cove / Jericho team a call to help with all areas of a water emergency. We are ready 24/7 at (516) 671-1919.
