Water Damage Cleanup Companies And Contents Cleaning In Ellensburg
Contents cleaning is the term for a highly sophisticated process. Certified contents restorers will execute a protocol of steps to clean, sanitize, and deodorize items damaged by water (and mold.) Household goods restoration services and content handling are key aspects of a full spectrum of property damage services. Clean Image Services, inc. has a state-of-the-art content cleaning system that can restore many personal items: luxury clothing, family heirlooms, artwork, furniture, and electronics.
The type of water that got on your things really affects the potential for successful cleanup. Restorers use a scale to categorize the source of water. Category 1 is clean, hygienic water. Building materials, wood, sheetrock, and your possessions might be damaged if left in standing water. While the water has no germs in it, you are at risk of future mold if you don’t clean it up right away. Mold can grow within 24-48 hours.
Category 2 carries microorganisms. Examples are a dishwasher leak, an overflowing washing machine, toilet bowls with urine (no feces), and water from the bathtub.
Sometimes the water is so dirty that your things might be ruined, despite attempts to clean them. Category 3 damage is also referred to as “black water.” This discharge could contain unsanitary pathogenic agents from rotten food, feces, urine, and toilet paper from flush toilets. This water can definitely make your family sick.
What Can Be Saved?
So many factors will affect the results. How long were the items submerged? How dirty was the water? In what condition did the items start? In general, restoration specialists can successfully revive items such as:
- Clothing, draperies, and other textiles
- Nonporous materials– kitchen items, china, jewelry
- Leather (clothes, shoes, furniture, etc)
- Upholstered furniture, throw rugs
- Appliances, TVs, computers, electronics
- Books, papers, and other documents
- Artwork

They will carefully pack up textiles, fabric, and household goods from your home and safely transport them to a contents processing center.
