Our Heirlooms and Antiques Restoration Process

The Elements Restoration team is here to help you bring your treasured items back from the brink. The restoration of heirlooms and antiques requires specialized equipment and techniques as well as care and attention to detail. We treat your items as if they were our own, gently restoring them to their pre-loss condition.   

Stabilize

The first step in restoring your heirlooms and antiques is to stabilize the items to prevent further damage. We use a freeze stabilization technique on  textiles, paper, and other delicate items to prevent mold growth until we can gently and thoroughly restore them.

Clean

Elements Restoration uses a variety of cleaning techniques to restore your antiques and heirlooms. Our approach will depend on the material of the item, the severity of damage, and the type of damage. Trust our professional team carefully wash, clean, dry, and polish your heirlooms and antiques with appropriate processes and materials. 

Repair & Preserve

Once we have stabilized and cleaned your items, it is time to repair and preserve them. The Elements Restoration team will replace missing parts, secure loose components, and reassemble broken pieces using conservation-grade materials. We will repaint or refinish items and add protective coatings where appropriate. Finally, we will return your items to you in protective wraps, acid-free boxes, or other archival-grade storage as needed.

Non Restore

In the restoration industry, accurately documenting and managing non-restorable items is a critical part of the claims process. We accurately document items deemed non-restorable during the assessment process, designed to streamline communication between homeowners and insurers while providing clarity and peace of mind.

Heirlooms and Antiques FAQs

Can all antiques and heirlooms be restored after fire and water damage?

Unfortunately, not all items can be fully restored. However, most items can be preserved or improved significantly after suffering fire or water damage. We will evaluate the type of material, severity of the damage, and structural damage before giving you an idea of how restorable each individual item is.

Ozone treatments, activated charcoal, or a professional-grade deodorizer can remove the smell of smoke from your antiques and heirlooms. Our experts will choose the technique that will be most effective and gentlest for each individual item.

Items made from paper, textiles, and other absorbent materials require extra care to restore properly. These materials are especially vulnerable to mold, warping, and discoloration. The Elements Restoration team has the experience and know-how to restore these items to their pre-loss condition.

Cared For Clients

Elements Restoration were easy to work with and did a thorough job of cleaning our belongings. When we needed help finding certain things while waiting for the insurance to pay, they were accommodating and did all they could to help locate those items. The process of returning the belongings was smooth. We would recommend them to someone who has gone through a fire.

Working with the people at Elements Restoration has been a wonderful experience! They have managed to turn a horrible, stressful, overwhelming  mess into a manageable event. They arrived only hours after a hose broke in our laundry room and flooded our basement and began removing everything. They are so friendly, understanding, reassuring, professional and efficient! 
The communication throughout this process has been excellent! They have kept us updated on the status of our possessions and now have our items stored until our restoration is complete. They have returned items to us, per our requests, and everything is in excellent condition and well cared for! 
If you ever need this type of service, I recommend Elements Restoration 100%!
