Ask Annissa: Cleaning Contents After Wildfires is NOT Equipment Intensive

By Annissa Coy
December 5, 2019

After a wildfire, thousands if not millions of homes are left with smoke and soot damage, but often no structural damage. If you do contents cleaning, or want to start doing it, this is work that is both profitable and does not require a lot of equipment.

Annissa explains the need for restorers to do this work in California, and what it takes to get it done.
