In the wake of hurricanes Harvey and Irma, and the wildfires in Napa and Ventura counties, there is a new appreciation among insurance companies for disaster restoration and contents cleaning companies that utilize ultrasonic cleaning technology. Why? Well, not surprisingly, it boils down to money.

Strange, how a fire can ignite from the most unlikely source; especially when that source is water related. A condo in an affluent community drew the unlucky straw of being located next to a pump station that ran the lawn sprinkler for six homes.

Evans Garment Restoration of Minnesota recently announced that they are offering a new way to restore textiles.

There’s an old saying that when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. When it comes to restoring garments and other textiles involved with an insurance claim, a full tool box is required to successfully handle dozens of types of contaminants, hundreds of types of materials, and thousands of types of items.

Unlike many that stumble with in-house fabric/textile restoration, Soil Away Cleaning and Restoration Services makes sure this service is much more than a “side gig” or afterthought.

It’s estimated that soft contents accounts for up to 23% of the total items on a pack out, making it the single largest contents category by volume.
