Soil-Away Hosts Soft Contents Restoration Course for Insurance Adjusters- Hooksett, NH
Soil-Away recently welcomed nearly 20 property damage insurance claims adjusters to their Hooksett, NH facility for a continuing education (CE) course. The CE course focused on soft contents restoration. Some examples of soft contents are the following: clothing, bedding, footwear, handbags, stuffed animals, leather goods, etc… When these items are damaged by fire, smoke or water they are either replaced or restored in the claims process. Soil-Away’s soft contents restoration course educated insurance adjusters on new methods to restore damaged goods.
Currently, the industry is throwing out and replacing roughly 50% of soft contents in a home or business that have been affected by soot, smoke, and water damage. All items affected by category 3 water (i.e. sewage, ground water, etc…) and mold damage are being thrown away. This becomes very expensive for the insurance companies to replace. It is also costly to property owners who have to throw away unique and sentimental items. Many sentimental items just cannot be replaced by a check from the insurance company. Traditional wash methods such as dry cleaning and washing machines do not provide the cleaning versatility and capabilities that the industry demands.
Technological advancements in the contents restoration industry are changing the way soft contents are restored following a fire, soot and water damage situation. There is a massive paradigm shift in the insurance industry thanks to the Esporta Wash System. The capabilities of the Esporta Wash System and its network of certified operators have drastically decreased the need to replace soft contents after damaged by fire or floods.
