Furniture, electronics, photographs, and family heirlooms often survive a fire in worse-looking condition than they actually are, and many pieces homeowners assume are ruined can be fully restored. Fire Damage Laser Cleaning's Content Restoration specialists in Somerville, NJ inventory, pack out, and clean belongings using methods matched to each material.
Every category of belonging — electronics, textiles, photographs, furniture — gets its own treatment method, because what works for a couch would ruin a laptop or a photo album.

Every item removed from the property is photographed and logged before it leaves, creating a clear record for you and your insurer.
Electronics, fabric, and furniture are treated with entirely different methods, matched to what actually works for each.
Belongings are stored in a secure, climate-controlled facility during restoration and repair of your Somerville property.
Items are only returned once cleaning is fully verified, and returns are scheduled around your repair timeline.
A common concern we hear from Somerville families is whether it's even worth trying to save belongings that look badly damaged, and the honest answer is that appearance right after a fire is often misleading about what's actually salvageable.
We've restored items Somerville families were fully prepared to throw away, simply because the soot coating made the damage look far more severe than it was.
We won't invoice for cleaning attempts on items where the material itself, not just the surface, has been compromised beyond repair — the goal is an honest assessment, not maximizing billable items.
Every Somerville pack-out includes a signed inventory receipt for your own records, separate from the copy we send to your insurer.
We build a documented inventory of every item removed, which becomes part of your insurance file.
Dishware, small appliances, and hard-surfaced items go through ultrasonic cleaning tanks that lift soot from crevices standard cleaning misses.
Electronics get ozone or specialized dry-cleaning treatment rather than liquid cleaning, which can cause further internal damage.
Clothing, curtains, and upholstery go through a specialized wash process designed to remove smoke odor without damaging fabric.
Photographs and important documents get individual attention rather than batch processing, since each piece is often irreplaceable.
Wood furniture gets cleaned and, where needed, refinished to remove smoke staining and odor from the material.
Our team at +1-866-484-1409 walks you through what to expect before the pack-out even begins.
A pack-out crew typically reaches Somerville properties within a day, with inventory materials and packing supplies ready.
Each category of belongings gets assessed for the appropriate cleaning method, with pricing provided before pack-out begins.
We close out the Content Restoration job by confirming every inventoried item has been returned or accounted for.
