Before you throw anything away, call us. Professional content restoration saves the majority of water, fire, and smoke-damaged items — your family photos, electronics, documents, and furniture — at a fraction of replacement cost.
Do not discard damaged items before documenting them for insurance. Move salvageable items away from active water or contaminants. Do not attempt to clean soot-covered items — improper cleaning causes permanent damage. Call Resto Experts at (901) 519-2580 for professional content assessment.
Professional content restoration saves 70-90% of damaged items at a fraction of replacement cost. This means preserving irreplaceable items like family photos, heirlooms, and important documents. It also significantly reduces your insurance claim cost, which benefits both you and your insurance relationship.
Our team inventories all contents, documenting condition with photos for insurance. Salvageable items are packed and transported to our restoration facility. We use ultrasonic cleaning for hard items, ozone treatment for smoke odor, freeze-drying for documents, and specialized techniques for electronics. Restored items are returned to your home after the structure is restored.

Most non-porous items and many porous items can be restored: electronics (with proper treatment within 48 hours), wood furniture, metal items, most clothing, documents and photos (through freeze-drying), and artwork. Items that typically cannot be restored include heavily contaminated soft goods and items with extended mold exposure.
Content restoration typically costs 30-50% of replacement value, saving significant money on your insurance claim. For irreplaceable items like family photos, documents, and heirlooms, restoration is the only option — there is no replacement value for sentimental items.
No — do not discard damaged items before a professional assessment and insurance documentation. Many items that appear destroyed can be successfully restored. Always photograph and inventory items before any disposal, and get your insurance adjuster's approval before discarding anything.
