We completely understand that when tragedies, like a fire, happen, it can leave you feeling exposed and almost violated to have people going through the rubble that was your life. This can lead to people wanting to help in the restoration process. WE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AGAINST THIS. Without the proper equipment, training or understanding of what all could be damaged, you could do more do more damage than has already been done.
Our technicians are trained to come into a property, evaluate the high priority items, and used the commercial grade equipment that we have to save the items with the highest available success rate. Moving items during this process can mean that we might miss something that we have the chance to save.
