Your Belongings and Water Damage

Water damage can have a significant impact not only on the structure of your home but also on your personal belongings. SERVPRO of Newton/Wellesley recognizes that your home is more than just a building; it's where your family's memories and cherished belongings are kept. Furniture, clothing, keepsakes, and other items all contribute to making a house feel like a home.

When water damage occurs, these belongings can be at risk of damage or loss. Water can seep into furniture, causing it to warp or mold. Clothing and other textiles can become waterlogged and stained, making them unsalvageable if not treated promptly. Personal keepsakes and sentimental items may also be at risk if they are not properly protected.

SERVPRO of Newton/Wellesley understands the importance of your belongings and is committed to helping you restore them to their pre-damaged condition. Our team of professionals is trained to handle a wide range of water damage scenarios and has the expertise and equipment to salvage and restore your belongings whenever possible.

We work quickly and efficiently to mitigate further damage and ensure that your home is restored to a safe and livable condition. Our goal is to minimize the impact of water damage on your life and help you get back to normal as soon as possible.

Contents Restoration

SERVPRO of Newton / Wellesley specializes in restoring contents damaged by fire, water, or mold. Our expertise and “restore” versus “replace” mentality can help you save money while preserving precious keepsakes that can’t be replaced. We pretest your contents to determine what items can be restored back to their condition before the water damage. We utilize several methods of cleaning your contents, including the following:

Dry Cleaning - Used for cleaning light residues or to pre-clean prior to wet cleaning.
Wet Cleaning - An effective cleaning method for removing moderate to heavy residues.
Spray and Wipe -Effective for items that can’t withstand wet cleaning.
Foam Cleaning - Used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet cleaned.
Abrasive Cleaning - Involves agitation of the surface being cleaned.
Immersion Cleaning - Contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning product.

Move-Outs/Pack-Outs

If your home requires extensive restoration or cleaning, SERVPRO of Newton / Wellesley can conduct an organized, efficient move-out of the affected area. A move-out will provide several benefits, including the following:

A quicker remodeling process
Protecting items from potential damage
Protecting contents from further on-site damage

When restoration is completed, we will work with you to coordinate the move-in according to your needs. The services offered upon move-in may depend on your insurance coverage.

Electronic Cleanup

Water-damaged electronics can present a serious hazard. Do not attempt to turn on or operate any electrical device that you suspect has been damaged by water. We will coordinate the restoration of your electronics, including:

Television sets
DVD players
Computers
And more

The key to restoring electronics is taking prompt action to prevent further damage. We start by cleaning the exterior of electronic devices to help stop further corrosion and damage. Electronics will be cleaned and inspected by a qualified electronics technician.

When your valuable documents, including photographs, are damaged by water, extreme caution should be taken to help ensure the water damage does not destroy the document.

Depending on the type of documents and the level of water damage, we have five options for the restoration of documents:

Air Drying
