Would you be able to remember everything you have stored in your garage if a devastating fire were to break out?

It is no secret how damaging flames and smoke can be to your home or business.  Smoke and soot clean up alone can be tedious and expensive.  One area we find that home and business owners overlook when it comes to protecting their home and office, are the contents contained within.

Most insurance policies have contents coverage, in the event that they get damaged in a fire or water (sometimes both!) loss.  However, policy holders are still required to submit a list of the items that were deemed unsalvageable in order to receive payment.  We do our very best when on the job site to notate any item we determine must be thrown away.  But sadly, not all items can be recognized.  Especially in the room where the fire started. 

Having pictures and an up to date home inventory, can help jog your memory as to what was stored in each room so nothing gets missed.  If you are renting your home or office space, and have tenant's insurance, your inventory is just as critical!
