If your property suffers damages from a disaster like flooding and water damage, fire and smoke damage, or damage from a storm, saving your personal belongings with contents restoration can be one of the most important things that you do for your state of mind and to get you back on the road of recovery, both emotionally and financially.
Contents Restoration Services
When disaster strikes, the damage extends beyond the structure of your home or business. Fire, smoke, water, and storm damage can impact your most valued possessions, from furniture and electronics to sentimental keepsakes. At Jenkins Restorations, we understand that your belongings are more than just objects—they represent memories, history, and comfort.
Our professional contents restoration services are designed to recover, clean, and restore your personal property to pre-loss condition. Whether it’s fire-damaged furniture, water-soaked documents, or smoke-affected heirlooms, our trained specialists use advanced techniques to salvage and preserve as much as possible.
5 Steps to Contents Cleaning Restoration
Contents damage restoration services can be just as important as any type of restoration service, particularly when it comes time to inventory and salvage sentimental belongings.
The Jenkins Content Restoration Team presents you and your insurance representative as many cost-effective solutions as possible. Below is our 5-step content cleaning restoration process.
Step 1 – Evaluation – Identify and recover items that you can save.
Each loss site is visited by one of our trained and certified content restoration specialists who evaluate whether contents can be managed on-site in less severe situations or removed from the site and brought to one of our state-of-the-art facilities for more involved cleaning.
Our staff decides if items can be restored. They also take a detailed inventory. This includes taking photos, making notes, and using numbers or bar codes. These steps help us track your items throughout the process.
Step 2 – Inventory and Packout
After all the items have been evaluated, they are then professionally packed or wrapped in order to load onto our moving vans for secure and efficient transport. Packing may require some items to be pre-treated or fast-tracked since certain conditions may exist that will cause irreparable damage if not handled immediately.
Step 3 – Sorting and Cleaning
Since items vary so greatly in materials and design, a variety of cleaning methods may be utilized to return your property to a pre-loss condition. Specialty items or high-value items may require specialized handling. These specialized cleaning methods include:
- High-pressure Air-washing
- Down-draft bulk soil removal
- HEPA vacuuming
- Specialized cleaning chemicals
- Ultrasonic cleaning
- Ozone/deodorization treatments
- Specialized decontamination chamber
Step 4 – Re-inventory and Storage
Many times, the building repair will take several weeks to several months to complete. Jenkins will safely store your recovered items in our secure, climate-controlled warehouse using special storage vaults and pallets until you’re ready for delivery.
Step 5 – Re-delivery
Once building repairs are completed, we will return your items to you. Our content restoration services will transport items and place them in the rooms they were taken from. Furnishings will be reset in their original location. In many cases, insurance will allow for unboxing, and we can provide this service as well if requested.
Please allow us up to 2 weeks’ notice to schedule your re-delivery.
If your property has experienced a loss due to fire, flood, animal activity, etc., there is likely a need for specialized cleaning and deodorization. Many times a restorative cleaning is all that may be needed. However, restorative cleaning is an important step even in the reconstruction process to ensure that continuing damage due to acidic smoke or chemical residue is halted and odor is controlled so as not to further impact the property. Our highly specialized and trained staff can handle these needs professionally and efficiently.

Your belongings are a part of your life, and we treat them with the care and respect they deserve.
