Save Your Personal Items After Flood Damage in Montrose Through Contents Cleaning Services 

Flooding caused by a hurricane, swelled creeks, snowmelt, or excessive rains can disrupt your usual way of life, and they all need immediate attention. If your home and its contents remain underwater or damp for an extended period, the extent of the damage can be more significant.  

In the aftermath of a flood, homeowners are usually more concerned about the structural elements of their homes, but the destruction often extends to their personal possessions. After a flood damages your Montrose home, having your contents restored is just as crucial as having your home restored. Items like wood furnishings can swell and fall apart if you do not take quick action to restore them. Electronics and appliances can malfunction, and wood musical instruments can swell and warp. Here at SERVPRO, we offer contents cleaning and pack out services that can help you salvage such belongings.  

Our restoration experts possess certifications from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) - the organization which sets the standards for the inspection, cleaning, and restoration industries. Some items damaged after a flood can be decontaminated and restored while others cannot. The decision to replace or restore usually depends on the porosity of the material, the type of contamination, and pretest results. Typically, porous items cannot be disinfected and need replacing.  

We can clean some items on site, but individual cases may necessitate packing out your contents for cleaning and storage off-site. We determine which items to clean in your home and which ones to transport to our facilities for a more effective restoration. Pack-outs can speed up the restoration process of your home and protect your possessions from additional harm.  

Our Water Restoration Technicians (WRT) use specialized cleaning methods to clean items that floodwater has damaged. One of them is immersion, which involves dipping items into specially formulated cleaning products. Our SERVPRO technicians can also use the wipe and spray technique to clean items that cannot stand up to heavy cleaning. We can also use abrasive cleaning, which involves washing the surface of an item using agitation.  

When flooding occurs in your home, call SERVPRO of Montrose / Telluride at (970) 240-6970 for contents cleanup services. You can trust us to be thorough and reliable as we work to restore your contents. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.
