Proper cleaning may allow you to recover any property that has been part of a family heirloom and can perhaps reduce costs. However, if your belongings have not been properly cleaned, and are returned to your home, mold can recur. Be sure to check the coverage and limits of your insurance policy with your insurer before making the decision to clean or replace your belongings.
Most legitimate contractors who perform mold removal made and comply with decontamination procedures. Make sure you understand and are satisfied with the cleaning methods to be used before accepting your belongings to be evicted from your home. Be aware that "the cleansing treatment" can only clean the surfaces of their belongings with a fungicide (usually bleach and water) and use dry cleaning for clothes, linens and curtains.
In general, items that are porous and with mold detection, such as paper, bedding and headboards, wooden floors, carpets, and upholstered furniture, may be difficult to treat and clean effectively. Solid materials like glass, plastic and metal, can usually be saved after they have been thoroughly cleaned. Books, antiques and irreplaceable documents may require special treatment provided by a professional conservator.
The process to vacate their belongings from the house to be cleaned and stored is commonly known as "packing" (packing out). During this process, the belongings are first taken to a site "clean" in the house that is being repaired. The belongings were taken after an installation, outside the house to be cleaned. This process is done in most cases repair.
If all the belongings in your house should be packed, ask your insurance company references they have used in the past. Just like hiring a roofer, ask the packing company that you provide a list of names of past clients and contact them to see if the work the company performed was satisfactory. Make a complete inventory of all items being evicted from their home in the company doing the cleaning or storage, so you can be sure that all her belongings are returned. Those belongings with significant financial or personal value should be photographed before being evicted from his home. The representative of the company responsible for removal / cleaning should review and sign the inventory.
In some cases, certain companies have tried to keep the belongings of the owners by way of demanding higher fees. Filing a complaint with the Attorney General Division of Consumer Protection or with your local Better Business Bureau may help you solve this problem. The company also could threaten to sell their property if you do not pay the additional costs. If this happens, you should consult an attorney immediately.
You probably should consider making their own arrangements for cleaning and storing your belongings. The Attorney General has found that some fraudulent repairers falsified the price for dry cleaning, greatly increasing the cost to the customer. The office also received a report of a repair company that misled his clients and insurance companies to charge for costs to store belongings in storage devices that supposedly had to control humidity and air conditioning, when in fact the property was stored in warehouses that did not have these devices.
