| Antique Handling:: |
Specific methods of handling and after a disaster requires the property owner to disclose and identify th eantique or content as having extraordianry or exceptional value. Contractor Liablity Note: Antiques in water damged buildings must be identified and separated from all other contents and they are to be carefully handled and taken to a safe control area. Before handling items described to you as being collectable or antique, a survey of the item is in water or sewage, your log and inventory sheet must note the current condition of each item as it is before handling the item. Note that all chips, scratches, marks and missing pieces before picking up the piece, including furniture. As important, carefully evaluate each item for loose peices, such as legs and backs or items which come apart such as back mirrors and table tops. Damaged antiques are seldom repaired back to an acceptable quality once damaged, at least that is what some content owners report. See Antique, Appraisal, Collectable |
