Disasters can strike homes at any time, and while they can cause extensive damage to the structural integrity of the residence, they can also be devastating for personal belongings. Contents and possessions in residence after water, fire, and mold damage can require careful handling, relocation, and specialized cleaning to restore them to pre-loss condition. As tempting as DIY cleanup might be, there are several instances where it is wiser to seek the experience of BISON Restoration.
Choosing DIY Handling and Cleanup
Contents removal in Moore properties after a disaster is an intricate process. From a professional standpoint, the pack-out process requires detailed records of where items were placed, their condition, and whether they are salvageable. Homeowners looking to clean up the mess themselves might opt for this when the damage is minor, or they simply want to take a hands-on approach to cleanup and avoid the costs of professional restoration. However, there are some potential issues with DIY content removal or cleanup approaches:
- Lack of proper personal protective equipment when facing hazardous substances and residues, such as widespread mold, asbestos, or carcinogenic soot.
- Not having the appropriate tools or supplies to safely remove contents without damaging them further or permanently.
- Insufficient training to handle items in a damaged state.
- Unprepared for the emotional toll it can be to sift through what is salvageable and destroyed of your belongings and treasured possessions.
