Before help arrives
Immediate steps for contents.
- 1Prioritize identification documents, medication, irreplaceable records, and items needed for temporary accommodation.
- 2Do not move soot-covered or contaminated items through clean areas without a handling and containment plan.
- 3Photograph rooms and groups of contents before rearranging them when the property is safe to enter.
- 4Separate obviously wet items from dry items when this can be done without exposure to sewage, mold, soot, or structural hazards.
- 5Ask how inventory, disposal authorization, cleaning decisions, storage, and return delivery will be documented.
Common causes we assess
- Fire, smoke, and soot exposure
- Water and high humidity
- Sewage or contaminated water
- Mold growth after a delayed loss
- Temporary removal during building repairs
What affects the estimate
- Number and type of affected items
- Contamination and required cleaning method
- Packing labour and specialty handling
- Transport, storage volume, and storage duration
- Replacement value versus practical restoration cost
Professional scope
What the restoration plan can include.
Room-by-room photo inventory and identification of priority, fragile, high-value, and non-salvageable items.
Packing, labelling, transport, and chain-of-custody records for items moved to cleaning or storage.
Cleaning and deodorization methods selected for the material, contamination, finish, and value of each item group.
Secure storage, status reporting, and coordinated return delivery after the property is ready.
Property-specific response
Planning contents for homes, condos, and businesses.
Houses and finished basements
The plan accounts for occupants, pets, stored contents, finished flooring, wall and ceiling cavities, insulation, cabinetry, utilities, and safe movement through the home. Source control and protection of unaffected rooms come first.
Condo and multi-unit properties
Condo restoration may require management approval, shut-off coordination, elevator or loading access, parking arrangements, work-hour rules, and documentation of water, smoke, or odour movement between neighbouring units.
Rental and managed properties
Landlords and property managers need a clear contact chain, tenant access, emergency authorization, affected-unit records, photos, daily updates, and a separation between immediate mitigation and the later repair scope.
Commercial restoration
Business losses add staff and public safety, operating hours, inventory, equipment, loading access, containment, noise, odour, and continuity requirements. Work can be phased so safe areas remain usable when conditions allow.
How long can it take?
A small on-site contents clean may be completed with the building work. A full pack-out, specialty cleaning, storage, and return can follow the reconstruction schedule for weeks or months. Inventory status and authorization should remain documented throughout.
Insurance documentation
Create a room-by-room list with photos, brand or model information where available, approximate age, and replacement evidence. Confirm disposal authorization and policy limits with the insurer. Contents cleaning and building restoration may be handled under different parts of a claim.
