Sometimes, but often not. Porous materials soak up fluids, and germs can remain deep inside where disinfectant cannot reach. The team looks at each item and explains which can be saved. Items that cannot be cleaned are removed, sealed and hauled away.
Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and some exclude certain causes. Call the insurance company before work starts, take photos and keep every receipt. Ask the team whether it can supply paperwork.
