A Comprehensive Approach to Contents Cleaning & Restoration in Marietta and the Greater Atlanta Area

Yes, in many cases, mold odors can be fully removed, especially when we’re able to start the process early. Mold not only grows on surfaces; it also releases microscopic spores that settle deep into fabrics, wood, and porous materials. That’s why we use specialized cleaning agents, deodorization chambers, and ozone or hydroxyl treatments to neutralize odors at the source.

Items like clothing, upholstered furniture, and even rugs can often be restored to their pre-damage condition. That said, the extent of restoration depends on how long the mold has been present and how deeply it has spread.

The first step is to avoid moving or cleaning anything yourself, especially if your home has suffered fire, smoke, or water damage. Shifting items too soon can actually make things worse, both in terms of damage and insurance documentation.

If it’s safe to do so, take photos of the affected areas for your records, then contact the professionals at Big Bear Restoration. We’ll handle the inventory, pack-out, and cleaning with the care it takes to avoid further damage.

Of course! Our contents restoration services aren’t limited to just fire damage. We also clean and restore belongings impacted by smoke, water, mold, and storm damage. Whether your items were exposed to floodwater or have been sitting in a damp basement too long, we know how to assess and treat a wide range of damage types.

Every item is assessed based on its material, condition, and the type of damage it’s suffered. Our team looks at how deeply the damage has set in—things like smoke penetration, water saturation, or mold growth—and whether cleaning methods will be effective without causing more harm.

We also consider sentimental or personal value, especially for irreplaceable items. Some things, unfortunately, can’t be saved, and we’ll be honest about that. However, if there’s a safe and effective way to restore something, we’ll do everything we can to bring it back.

It’s completely up to you. Some homeowners prefer to be there to walk through the process with us, while others are juggling a lot and need us to handle it. Either way, we’ll communicate clearly, keep a detailed inventory of everything we take, and coordinate with you before anything is returned.

When it’s time to bring your belongings back, we’ll work with your schedule and handle the unpacking and placement so your home feels like yours again.
