In most cases, furniture is carefully moved out of the affected area during water cleanup. Items like couches, beds, and other large pieces are relocated, and special precautions are usually taken with fragile or antique items.

Most companies include furniture moving, but I always move my expensive electronics and valuables myself. You know your stuff better than they do.

Standard practice is to move furniture as needed. Just make sure everything is documented with photos before they touch it. Insurance covers damage during the move.

We moved furniture all day long. Part of the job. Just point out anything especially valuable or fragile. We're insured, but prevention is better than claims.

Yes, they move furniture, but I always do a walkthrough first to identify valuable or fragile items. Better to move those yourself if possible.

Yeah, they move furniture. It's included in the service. I've worked with these crews - they're pros. Just make sure heavy stuff like pianos are handled by specialists.

They'll move what they need to, but I always tell sellers to move family heirlooms and valuables themselves. Clairemont has lots of mid-century pieces that are irreplaceable.

Furniture moving is standard, but document everything first. I've seen disputes over pre-existing damage vs. damage during the move.

The crew moved all our furniture to the garage and covered it with plastic. A few small scratches on our coffee table, but overall they were careful.

Buy some furniture pads and plastic covers before they come. Makes the crew's job easier and protects your stuff better. Most companies provide this though.

The restoration crews I work with always move furniture. It's part of getting to the source of water damage. They're used to working around Clairemont's vintage pieces.

They'll move what they need to access damaged areas. Just make sure to remove personal items from drawers and cushions first - makes their job easier.

Furniture moving is included in most restoration contracts. If something gets damaged during the move, it should be covered. Get everything in writing first.

We often work after restoration crews, and yes, they move furniture. Just secure loose items and take out anything really valuable beforehand.

They moved everything in our Clairemont house - couches, beds, everything. Just had to sign a form about antiques. They were super careful with my grandmother's china cabinet.
