Is It Possible to Salvage Any Personal Items After a Fire in Seattle?
You may be able to salvage some personal belongings after a fire in Seattle, depending on the extent of the damage and the type of items you are considering. Here are some tips to help you decide:
- Contact your insurance agent as soon as possible to file a claim and get advice on what to do with your belongings in Seattle.
- Wear protective clothing, like gloves, goggles, a mask, and a long-sleeve shirt and pants, when handling your belongings to avoid exposure to hazardous materials.
- Do not touch or move any items that are touched by flames, as they are most likely non-salvageable and should be declared a total loss.
- Do not use water or any other cleaning solution on your items since this will drive soot and ash further into the surface and make them impossible to remove.
- As soon as possible, vacuum the soot and ash off your items using a HEPA filter and low suction. Do not use a brush or let the nozzle touch the surface.
- Hire a Seattle professional restoration contractor from GotRot. We can pack, track, transport, clean, restore, store, and return your salvageable personal property.
Even though there might be some items that you will lose forever, knowing that some of them might be able to be salvaged, can bring you some comfort at a time when you have suffered a devastating loss.
