Your Belongings and Water Damage

When a water loss occurs in your home, damage isn’t always confined to the structure. Personal items that are in the path of destruction are also often affected. At SERVPRO of Mobile County, we understand these aren’t just your belongings, these are your memories, your records…your life. We are Here to help® when you need us! Our IICRC Certified Water Restoration Technicians are experts in cleaning water damaged contents. Depending on various factors, items may be cleaned on-site or carefully packed into boxes and transported to our facilities for cleaning. As we pack the items, they are logged into our electronic iCat contents inventory system, which allows us to know exactly where your belongings are at all times. Once cleaned, the contents are then carefully repackaged and stored in our climate-controlled warehouse facility to await delivery to your home once the structure cleaning is complete. We are here to take care of you after a water loss and we are dedicated to caring for your home and belongings as if they were our own!

Contents Restoration

SERVPRO of Mobile County specializes in restoring contents damaged by fire, water, or mold. Our expertise and “restore” versus “replace” mentality can help you save money while preserving precious keepsakes that can’t be replaced. We pretest your contents to determine what items can be restored back to their condition before the water damage. We utilize several methods of cleaning your contents, including the following:

Dry Cleaning - Used for cleaning light residues or to pre-clean prior to wet cleaning.
Wet Cleaning - An effective cleaning method for removing moderate to heavy residues.
Spray and Wipe -Effective for items that can’t withstand wet cleaning.
Foam Cleaning - Used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet cleaned.
Abrasive Cleaning - Involves agitation of the surface being cleaned.
Immersion Cleaning - Contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning product.

Move-Outs/Pack-Outs

If your home requires extensive restoration or cleaning, SERVPRO of Mobile County can conduct an organized, efficient move-out of the affected area. A move-out will provide several benefits, including the following:

A quicker remodeling process
Protecting items from potential damage
Protecting contents from further on-site damage

When restoration is completed, we will work with you to coordinate the move-in according to your needs. The services offered upon move-in may depend on your insurance coverage.

Electronic Cleanup

Water-damaged electronics can present a serious hazard. Do not attempt to turn on or operate any electrical device that you suspect has been damaged by water. We will coordinate the restoration of your electronics, including:

Television sets
DVD players
Computers
And more

The key to restoring electronics is taking prompt action to prevent further damage. We start by cleaning the exterior of electronic devices to help stop further corrosion and damage. Electronics will be cleaned and inspected by a qualified electronics technician.

Document / Photograph Drying

When your valuable documents, including photographs, are damaged by water, extreme caution should be taken to help ensure the water damage does not destroy the document. Although some documents may not be restored to pre-water damage condition, SERVPRO of Mobile County can save a great deal and help minimize additional damage.

Depending on the type of documents and the level of water damage, we have five options for the restoration of documents:

Air Drying
Dehumidification
