THE EXPERT RESPONDS
Which tips could you put into practice, when your house is left empty?
Leaving a house empty, during a period of time, could endanger the security of the property itself.
It’s commonly known the usefulness of an alarm system against a robbery, but recent analyses show a prevalence of accidental damages: a flooding, a breakage of sewer pipes, a sudden change of humidity level and so on.
Unfortunately, all of these unexpected events have a dangerous effect on artworks and valuable assets.
A viable solution is Art Defender Short Term Service, which will satisfy clients who need to safely keep, preserve and restore their precious belongings for short periods of time, while going on holiday, relocating or renovating, without worries.

Special Restoration: What is an anoxic treatment ?
The method of anoxia is a system of pest control creating conditions of absence of oxygen, deadly to the parasites that infest and seriously damage objects composed primarily of wood, paper, leather and textiles. The treatment, which involves inserting the works to be treated in watertight bags or tents for twenty-one days, effectively replaces, and without any kind of danger, the use of traditional systems.
Our staff is available to customers to evaluate objects in need of such treatment.
