After a fire or smoke event, not every item in an affected room is a total loss. And not every item that appears undamaged is safe. This triage tool helps you assess restorability by item type and damage level before a professional assessment — so you can make informed decisions about what to preserve, what to send for cleaning, and what to document as a loss.
This tool provides general guidance. Professional contents restoration assessment determines actual restorability for your specific items. Do not discard any item before documenting it photographically — discarded items cannot be claimed as insurance losses. Call (703) 397-8315.

Why Professional Contents Assessment Matters
This tool provides general guidance. Actual restorability depends on the specific item, the specific fire event, and conditions at the time of professional inspection. Our contents cleaning and restoration service includes itemized pack-out inventory with photographs, professional cleaning at our facility, and insurance documentation that supports your claim for both restored items and losses.
