Time Matters

Why Fast Response Is Critical for Contents

When it comes to contents, time is your most valuable resource. The longer damage goes unaddressed, the more severe and costly the restoration becomes. Secondary damage can begin within hours, turning a manageable situation into a major disaster.

Our 90-minute response guarantee exists because we understand this urgency. By arriving quickly and beginning mitigation immediately, we can often prevent thousands of dollars in additional damage and significantly reduce the overall restoration timeline.

Advanced DRI maintains multiple office locations throughout the Northeast specifically to ensure rapid response times. Our strategically positioned teams, combined with our fleet of fully-equipped service vehicles, mean help is always nearby when you need it most.

Making the Right Choice

How to Choose a Contents Company

Choosing the right restoration company is one of the most important decisions you will make after property damage occurs. The company you select will directly impact the quality of your restoration, how quickly you can return to normal, and your overall experience during a difficult time. Here are key factors to consider when making your decision:

Certifications and Training: Look for companies with IICRC certification, which is the industry standard for restoration professionals. IICRC-certified technicians have completed rigorous training and must maintain their certification through continuing education. At Advanced DRI, all our technicians hold relevant IICRC certifications and receive ongoing training on the latest restoration techniques and equipment.

Experience and Reputation: Experience matters significantly in restoration work. A company with years of experience has encountered countless scenarios and developed the expertise to handle any situation effectively. Check online reviews, ask for references, and verify the company has a solid track record. Advanced DRI has been serving the Northeast since 2005, completing over 15,000 restoration projects with consistently high customer satisfaction ratings.

Response Time and Availability: Damage does not wait for business hours, and neither should your restoration company. Ensure the company offers true 24/7 emergency service with rapid response times. Ask about their average response time and whether they have local crews in your area. Our 90-minute response guarantee is backed by multiple office locations strategically positioned throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.

Insurance Expertise: Restoration claims can be complex, and having a company experienced in working with insurance is invaluable. Ask if they work directly with insurance companies, handle documentation, and communicate with adjusters. A good restoration company can often maximize your claim while minimizing your stress. Our team has established relationships with all major insurers and handles the entire claims process on behalf of our customers.

Equipment and Techniques: Professional restoration requires commercial-grade equipment that far exceeds what is available to consumers. Ask about the equipment the company uses and whether they stay current with industry advances. Advanced DRI invests continuously in the latest technology, including thermal imaging cameras, commercial dehumidifiers, air scrubbers, and specialized cleaning equipment.

FAQ

Contents Questions

Common questions about our contents services.

Many water-damaged documents, photographs, and paper items can be successfully restored using specialized techniques. Freeze-drying is particularly effective for books and large document collections, stopping deterioration and allowing careful restoration. For photographs, we use air-drying racks and specialized handling to prevent emulsion damage. The key to successful document restoration is rapid response before mold begins to grow. We recommend calling us within 24-48 hours of water damage for the best chance of recovery.
Yes, we provide secure, climate-controlled storage facilities for your belongings during the restoration process. Our storage facilities maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels to protect sensitive items. All stored items are carefully inventoried, photographed, and tracked using our management system so you always know where your belongings are and their restoration status. Items remain in storage until your property is ready for their return or until you request delivery.
We restore a wide variety of items including furniture (wood, upholstered, and leather), electronics and appliances, clothing and textiles, documents and books, photographs and artwork, antiques and collectibles, kitchenware and dishes, and personal memorabilia. Each item type requires specific restoration techniques, and our technicians are trained in methods appropriate for different materials and damage types. We evaluate each item and provide honest assessments of restoration potential.
Our pack-out process begins with a detailed inventory of all items being removed from your property. Each item is photographed, numbered, and logged into our tracking system. Items are carefully packed using appropriate materials to prevent damage during transport. We provide you with a complete inventory list and access to our online tracking system. Items are transported to our climate-controlled facility where they undergo restoration. When your property is ready, we return and unpack items to their original locations.
Many electronics can be successfully restored after water damage if addressed quickly. Our electronics restoration process includes safely disassembling devices, cleaning circuit boards using ultrasonic baths and specialized solutions, drying components in controlled environments, and testing functionality before return. Success rates are highest when electronics are not powered on after water exposure and restoration begins within 24-48 hours. We can restore computers, televisions, gaming systems, and other consumer electronics.
Smoke-damaged contents require specialized cleaning methods based on the type of smoke (wet vs. dry, protein-based, etc.) and the material being cleaned. We use dry sponge cleaning for walls and ceilings, ultrasonic cleaning for hard goods and electronics, specialized cleaning for upholstery and textiles, and ozone or hydroxyl treatment for odor elimination. Items are cleaned off-site in our controlled facility where we can achieve better results than on-site cleaning in most cases.
When an item cannot be restored to pre-loss condition, we document its condition with photographs and written descriptions for your insurance claim. Our detailed documentation helps ensure you receive fair compensation for non-restorable items. We can also help you understand the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost coverage in your policy. Unrestorable items are disposed of properly only after you and your insurance company have approved.
Yes, our contents restoration team includes skilled craftspeople who can refinish and repair wood furniture damaged by water, fire, or smoke. Services include stripping and refinishing, veneer repair, structural repairs to joints and frames, hardware replacement, and color matching to restore original appearance. For antiques and valuable pieces, we work with specialized conservators when needed to ensure appropriate restoration techniques are used.
