When a fire disaster strikes, it affects more than just your home or building. Furniture, clothes, rugs, electronics and other items are often exposed to smoke and water damage and they need to be cleaned. Other items simply need to be stored while the cleanup and construction process ensure. At Pappas Construction, we know how to carefully handle, clean and store your possessions. We utilize a proven process for inventorying, packing and safely transporting your contents and furniture to our cleaning and storage location in the Northeast Ohio area. We can clean, deodorize, re-pack and store personal possessions until the restoration is complete. Using our on-site handheld mobile computer, we are able to automate the inventory process, record each item and track its status from removal to replacement.
During the pack-out, and contents restoration process, Pappas Construction will:
Content Cleaning & Restoration
At Pappas Construction, we utilize advanced products and systems for restoring a wide variety of different smoke-damaged contents and can work with you and your insurance company to determine which items should be cleaned or restored.

In some cases where the fire or smoke damage is severe, some items cannot be restored. Others could cost more to restore than their actual value. We will advise you and your insurance claim representative and explain the limits of what we as professional restorers can do in the case of severe smoke damage.

Our Cleaning Methods
Hand-Washing and Drying - Items are carefully cleaned by hand with special care taken to use dry methods with water-sensitive items.
Ultrasonic Cleaning - Similar to the process a jeweler uses to clean jewelry; sonic vibrations help to gently remove soot while minimizing the handling of items that can cause damage. Common items cleaned ultrasonically include blinds, collectibles, and other small contents.
Restoration Laundry/Dry Cleaning - Because fire damage requires a special form of dry cleaning, we utilize a special service performed by a restoration dry cleaner. (Includes inventory control and documentation of clothing and textiles, including bedding, window coverings, etc.)
Furniture and Upholstery Cleaning - This requires ServiceMaster’s specialty equipment, products, and technicians trained and certified in furniture restoration.
Electronic Cleaning- This service requires specialized equipment, training, products, and technicians trained and certified in electronics cleaning and restoration.
