Utah Contents Restoration Services

Our founder, Dan Davies, started Water Damage Specialists in Lehi in 2007. He brought years of expertise from the Bay Area's restoration industry back to his home state, and his mission has always been the same: deliver superior service and drive innovation in Utah contents restoration. Eighteen years later, that's still how we operate every single day.

Who We Are

When you call us, you're not calling a national franchise or a 1-800 answering service. You're calling a local Utah contents restoration company at (801) 768-4710, and you're talking to someone who knows the Wasatch Front: the soil, the weather, the homes, and the neighborhoods.

We follow IICRC Standards, the highest standards in the restoration industry. Our technicians receive training and certification from renowned instructors to make sure we're keeping you, your family, and your belongings protected. And if we can't meet the highest standards for a job, we won't take it on. Your possessions deserve only the best care.

Our Service Areas

We provide Utah contents restoration throughout Utah County and East Salt Lake County, including American Fork, Cottonwood Heights, Draper, Eagle Mountain, Heber City, Lehi, Midvale, Midway, Millcreek, Murray, Orem, Park City, Pleasant Grove, Provo, Salt Lake City, Sandy, Saratoga Springs, Snyderville, West Jordan, and West Valley City.

Whether you're in a mountain community like Park City or Heber City, or down in the valley in Provo or West Jordan, we can get a crew to your door fast.

These aren't logos we slap on a website and forget about. They represent ongoing training, annual continuing education, and the kind of accountability that means our contents inventories and restoration documentation hold up when your insurance adjuster reviews them.

We Understand Utah

Utah isn't like other states when it comes to water damage to your belongings. Our winters freeze pipes that flood basements full of stored furniture, photo albums, and holiday decorations. Our mountain runoff soaks finished basements where families keep heirlooms and electronics. Our hard water leaves mineral residue on textiles and upholstery that standard cleaning can't remove. A company from out of state doesn't understand any of that.

We've worked through every Utah season for over 18 years. We know that a cold snap in November means a wave of contents calls from homes with finished basements full of personal property. We know that older homes along the east bench often hold decades of family heirlooms that can't be replaced. We know that families in Saratoga Springs or Eagle Mountain face different storage challenges than homes in Provo or West Jordan.

When you call us for Utah contents restoration, you get that knowledge. You get a neighbor who's been inside hundreds of homes across this valley, recovering the exact kinds of belongings you're worried about right now.

When your belongings are damaged, the clock to save them starts ticking immediately. We don't show up with a few cardboard boxes and a prayer. We arrive with the best equipment for the job, IICRC-certified technicians, and a proven three-step process: Inventory, Pack-Out, Restore. We are with you every step of the way.

Utah Contents Restoration

When water, smoke, or mold damages your belongings, the clock is already ticking. Within the first 24 hours, photographs start sticking together, leather furniture mildews, electronics corrode, and textiles begin to set permanent stains. Most companies show up, throw your stuff in trash bags, and call it done. That's not Utah contents restoration. That's negligence.

Our crews arrive with professional inventory software, photo documentation tools, climate-controlled transport, and the experience to recover what others throw away. We catalog every item, then we go deeper. Using detailed photo documentation and barcode tracking, we record the condition of every piece before it leaves your home so nothing gets lost between your house and our facility.

We clean, deodorize, and restore your contents. Period. If an item can be saved, we save it. If it can't, we document the loss for your insurance carrier with the detail adjusters require. Until the job is done, our team keeps you updated on every batch as it moves through cleaning, drying, and restoration. That's the difference between a company that "boxes up your stuff" and a Utah contents restoration team that actually preserves what matters to your family.

• Full inventory with photo documentation and barcode tracking
• Climate-controlled pack-out and storage during structural restoration
• Professional cleaning, deodorizing, and restoration of salvageable items
• Detailed loss documentation for non-salvageable items
• IICRC-certified technicians and insurance-ready inventory reports

Inventory & Pack-Out

The first step in any Utah contents restoration job is documenting what's there. We catalog every item room by room with photos, descriptions, and condition notes before anything is moved. This is not a job for a moving company with cardboard boxes. Professional inventory and pack-out is the difference between an organized claim and a fight with your adjuster six months later over what was actually in the home.

Climate-Controlled Storage

After pack-out, the real work begins. Standard storage units are one thing, but we specialize in professional climate-controlled storage for our Utah customers. We house your contents in a temperature- and humidity-controlled facility while your home is being restored, protecting wood furniture from cracking, leather from mildewing, and electronics from corrosion. We don't pile your belongings in a warehouse and hope for the best. Every item is tracked, organized by room, and stored in conditions that prevent secondary damage.

Furniture & Upholstery Restoration

If your home along the Wasatch Front has taken on water damage, your furniture is at risk. Wood pieces swell and warp when wet. Upholstered furniture absorbs water and grows mold within days. Leather develops permanent stains and cracking if not treated quickly. Add Utah's hard water, which leaves mineral deposits on every textile it touches, and standard cleaning often makes things worse instead of better.

A damaged piece of furniture isn't just a replacement cost. It's often a family heirloom, a wedding gift, or something you spent years choosing. Tossing it in a dumpster because it got wet isn't restoration, it's surrender.

We've restored thousands of Utah furniture pieces. We know which materials respond to which cleaning methods. We know that a leather couch in Sandy might be saveable while an identical piece in West Valley needs different treatment because the water source was different. We know which wood finishes can be refinished and which can't.

• Wood furniture drying, refinishing, and structural repair
• Upholstered furniture cleaning, deodorizing, and antimicrobial treatment
• Leather restoration including cleaning, conditioning, and re-coloring
• Mattress and bedding evaluation for salvageability
• Documentation of items that cannot be restored for insurance claims

Textile & Clothing Restoration

A water-damaged closet isn't a total loss. Most clothing, linens, drapes, and rugs can be saved with the right cleaning process, even after exposure to Category 2 or Category 3 water. This is not something you handle by tossing everything in your home washing machine.

Our textile restoration partners use specialized equipment and processes for water- and smoke-damaged clothing, including ozone treatment, EPA-registered antimicrobials, and dry cleaning for delicates. Items come back hung, pressed, and individually bagged, ready to return to your closet.

After cleaning, we coordinate the return delivery to your home or storage facility, and document the restored count for your insurance carrier.

• Clothing, linens, and drapery cleaning
• Area rug and oriental rug restoration
• Ozone treatment for smoke and odor removal
• Salvage assessment for severely damaged textiles

Electronics & Appliance Restoration

Water and electronics don't mix, but a quick response can save more than you'd expect. The longer water sits inside a TV, a computer, a stereo system, or an appliance, the more corrosion sets in on circuit boards. We coordinate with electronics restoration specialists to recover devices that look like total losses but can actually be saved with the right process.

Photo, Document & Heirloom Recovery

Some things can't be replaced. Wedding photos, baby books, family Bibles, military records, original artwork. When these items get wet, you have a narrow window to save them before the damage becomes permanent. Don't let them dry on their own, and don't try to separate stuck-together pages. We freeze-stabilize damaged documents and photos to halt deterioration, then coordinate professional document recovery for items worth saving.

Inventory Documentation for Insurance

Not sure what's covered? Our thorough contents inventory documents every item in the affected area with photos, descriptions, and condition notes, providing the foundation for your insurance claim. We use professional inventory software and barcode tracking that adjusters recognize and accept. This step matters because the wrong inventory can mean leaving thousands of dollars in legitimate claim value on the table.

Dustless Demolition

When damaged building materials need to come out around your contents, we use advanced techniques and specialized tools to contain dust and debris, ensuring your remaining belongings don't get covered in drywall dust during the structural repair. Our dustless demolition approach protects what we've already inventoried while we work on the rest of the job.

Pack-Back & Final Placement

We don't just clean your contents and dump them at the front door. Once your home is dry, repaired, and ready, we handle the pack-back: returning every item to the same room it came from, unwrapping furniture, hanging clothing, and placing your belongings the way they were before the loss. One company from start to finish. No chasing down separate contractors to get your life back to normal.

Dealing with insurance after damage to your belongings is stressful enough without having to figure it all out on your own. We guide you through the process from start to finish so your contents claim is handled smoothly and you can focus on your family. We work with all insurance companies.

How We Help With Your Insurance Claim

Here's what happens when you call us: we arrive, inventory your contents, and begin Utah contents restoration work immediately. While we're working to save what can be saved, we're also building the documentation your insurance company will need to process your claim.

We work with all major insurance carriers in Utah. We know their processes, their adjusters, and their expectations, especially when it comes to contents claims, where adjusters require detailed inventories with descriptions, photos, and condition notes. In many cases, we handle the paperwork for you. That means less time on hold, fewer forms to fill out, and a smoother path to getting your belongings restored or replaced.

The Documentation Process: Inventory, Photo Records & Xactimate

Insurance adjusters don't approve contents claims based on your memory. They approve claims based on data. That's why every Utah contents restoration job we perform is documented with the kind of precision that leaves no room for denial.

From the moment we arrive, we're capturing high-resolution photos of every affected item, recording descriptions and condition notes, and building a barcoded inventory before anything leaves your home. That inventory follows your contents through cleaning, storage, and pack-back so the adjuster can see exactly what was damaged, what was salvaged, and what couldn't be saved.

All of our contents estimates are built in Xactimate, the industry-standard pricing software that every major insurance carrier uses. When your adjuster opens our inventory and pricing, it's in the same format, using the same line items, at the same pricing they expect. That eliminates the back-and-forth negotiation that bogs down contents claims from less experienced companies.

• High-resolution photo documentation of every inventoried item
• Item-by-item descriptions and condition notes
• Barcode tracking from pack-out through cleaning, storage, and pack-back
• Xactimate pricing matching carrier-standard line items
• Full inventory and documentation package delivered to your adjuster

Claims Navigation: Your Advocate From Filing to Final Payment

Filing a contents claim shouldn't feel like a second disaster, but for a lot of homeowners, it does. You're already dealing with a damaged home, and now you're on hold with your insurance company trying to remember every item you owned and what it was worth. Contents coverage varies widely depending on whether your policy is actual cash value or replacement cost, which makes the process even more confusing.

That's where we step in. We walk you through the entire claims process, from the initial call to your carrier, through the adjuster's inspection, all the way to final payment. We know what triggers denials on Utah contents restoration claims (incomplete inventories, missing photos, scope disputes, depreciation arguments) and we make sure none of those problems trip you up.

Think of us as your advocate. If an adjuster tries to underpay the claim or exclude legitimate items, we push back with data: photo records, condition notes, item descriptions, until the scope is right.

• Step-by-step guidance on filing your initial contents claim
• On-site coordination with your insurance adjuster during inspection
• Scope-of-loss documentation that stands up to adjuster review
• Supplement filing when additional damaged items are discovered
• Dispute support if your claim is underpaid or partially denied

We've been serving Utah since 2007. That's over 18 years of recovering belongings for homes and businesses across the Wasatch Front. Our IICRC certification, Utah state licensing, RIA Certified Restorer status, and A+ BBB rating reflect how we operate on every single job.

18 Years of Utah Contents Restoration

Since 2007 we have handled every type of contents loss scenario that Utah throws at homeowners: water-damaged basement storage after burst pipes, smoke-soaked living rooms after kitchen fires, mold-contaminated furniture after slow leaks, family heirlooms recovered from spring runoff flooding, and entire pack-outs of homes too damaged to live in during structural restoration.

Our approach follows a proven three-step process. First, we inventory: our thorough cataloging with photos and condition notes documents every affected item before it's moved. Second, we restore: using IICRC-certified techniques, we clean, deodorize, dry, and treat each piece based on what it actually needs. Third, we return: we meticulously pack-back your belongings to the same rooms they came from once your home is ready.

Until the job is done, our team keeps you updated on every batch of contents as it moves through cleaning and restoration. We don't pack up your stuff and leave you guessing. We stay in touch until everything is back where it belongs.

When other Utah contents restoration companies are too busy to take the call, they refer their customers to us. That's not a marketing claim. That's something our clients have told us directly.

Commercial Capacity

We handle residential and commercial contents restoration. When inventory gets soaked in a retail space, or office furniture and equipment are damaged in an office suite, the stakes go beyond replacement cost. You're dealing with lost revenue, displaced operations, and business interruption.

Our team coordinates with building management, tenants, and insurance carriers to minimize downtime and get your business operational as fast as possible. We pack out, store, restore, and return commercial inventory and office contents on a schedule that works around your operations. We also offer pre-loss inventory documentation for local businesses, so when something does happen, you're not trying to remember what was on the shelves.

Free Assessment

Not sure what can be saved? Maybe water reached your basement storage. Maybe smoke damaged your living room furniture. Maybe a slow leak grew mold in a closet full of clothes. These are situations where waiting makes everything worse, and the difference between salvage and total loss often comes down to how quickly the items get into the right hands.

Our thorough contents assessment identifies what's salvageable, what isn't, and provides a clear roadmap for cleaning, restoration, and insurance documentation. We use professional inventory tools, photo records, and condition testing to evaluate items that aren't obviously damaged or obviously lost. If something can be restored, we'll tell you. If it can't, we'll document it for your claim. No pressure to throw things away that could be saved.

Preventive Services

Beyond emergency response, we help you protect your belongings with pre-loss inventory documentation, climate-controlled storage during planned home renovations, and packing services for high-value collections during moves. Utah contents restoration is always cheaper when you have proper documentation in place before something happens.

If you manage a commercial property, our team can build a pre-loss inventory of your equipment and stock so that when something fails, you're not scrambling to remember what was on the shelves.

Document what you own before you need to. Protect your team, your inventory, and your revenue. Call us today.
