Over the last few years, contents cleaning and restoration has become an important service for restoration and remediation contractors to provide. Not only can it be profitable, it also offers contractors the opportunity to set themselves apart from their competitors.

Sometimes knowing what not to do can be the most valuable information a person, or in this case a business, can have in their toolbox. It’s like driving down a new road in the middle of the night and seeing a “Warning, Sharp Curve Ahead” sign. As you approach that curve, you are pretty grateful someone thought to put up a sign warning you to slow down.

The Restoration Industry Association (RIA) is stronger than it has been in decades, and now it is leading the charge to transform the industry as its chief advocate on the front lines.

This week, Annissa walks us through the first day in a fire/smoke damage job in Minnesota.

Should you thermal fog your contents jobs before you pack out? If you use hydroxyl, is thermal fog necessary?

No two pack outs are created alike. Imagine packing, loading, and transporting books, archives, and special collections from an academic library post disaster. Think worker output and physical performance.
