Roswell Water Damage Repairs and Cleaning for the Stuff Inside Your Home

How Trained Content Processing Technicians Restore Treasured Items

The consequences of water damage extend widely. For Roswell homeowners, the heavy emotional toll comes when irreparable contents scattered throughout the flooded residence appear ruined, including family photo albums, important documents, beloved children's toys, and familiar, comfortable furnishings. 

Restoration experts can demolish, rebuild, repaint, and refinish damaged areas to restore them to their pre-loss condition. The same approach will not work for many of the dozens of everyday items that make a house a home. AdvantaClean of Sandy Springs offers a compassionate and highly skilled approach to repairing water-damaged contents, leveraging the expertise of certified Content Processing Technicians (CPTs) with advanced training from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). These technicians focus on restoring, rather than discarding, valued belongings.

Rely on Our Skilled Content Recovery Team

Home contents water damage repair addresses various articles of personal property removed from the scene for evaluation, cleaning, drying, decontamination, and restoration. AdvantaClean of Sandy Springs CPTs complete a meticulous pack out of vulnerable articles with the goals of:

• Creating an exhaustive inventory listing of property removed.

• Documenting the condition of each item.

• Transporting contents to a secure facility for more detailed evaluations and development of specialized intervention plans to mitigate water damage and repair issues, restoring the items' appearance and function.

Specialized Interventions

• Furniture

Upholstered chairs, sofas, and wooden pieces require precise drying strategies to normalize moisture levels throughout multiple layers. Surface fabrics that are dry to the touch do not guarantee resolution of water damage. Wanded upholstery extraction often requires supplemental containment within a pressurized drying pod, which concentrates warm, moving air to facilitate evaporation.

• Textiles, Clothing, and Toys

"Soft" articles, including rugs and window coverings, clothing, toys (especially "lovies" and plush animals), and everyday wardrobe items, conquer water damage with tactics that:  

• Initially, remove soiling with gentle yet effective fabric-specific detergents, using washing machines. Hand washing or, sometimes, dry cleaning is also an option. 

• Follow up with drying methods applied item by item, some requiring tumbling through an industrial-strength, heated drying drum. In contrast, others dry appropriately when hung or blocked flat in drying chambers. 

• Papers, Documents, and Pictures

Cellulose-based materials (such as paper) can deteriorate rapidly when soaked. Unfortunately, these articles are among the most irreplaceable of personal possessions. Innovative techniques can preserve items when implemented swiftly, including:

• Freezing 

• Property owners and technicians can place wet papers and pictures in a deep freezer (preferably at -20 to -30 degrees) to halt further damage until AdvantsClean CPTs identify the best water damage repair procedure.

• Freeze-drying takes water-saturated paper products through two stages, eventually removing all but 1 to 5 percent of residual moisture.

• Sublimation converts frozen absorbed moisture directly into water vapor, skipping the liquid state when heated in pressurized chambers.

• Secondary drying, achieved through gradually increased heat, reduces any remaining bound moisture. 

• Digital Memorialization 

Although not an optimal solution, images of wet documents or pictures can be used to capture visual information.

• Electronics

Specialized services are essential for household and personal devices, including computers, gaming systems, televisions, and small appliances. We work collaboratively with experts in electronic water damage repair who understand the effects of corrosion and moisture intrusion, while adhering to safe restoration protocols.
