Here’s everything you need to know about hiring a content pack-out and cleaning service:
Benefits of Professional Pack-Out Services
For policy coverage, insurance companies demand that you take immediate steps to protect your belongings against further damage. This is why it’s best to remove any valuable items and belongings that you have out of your home and store them offsite for proper cleaning and treatment. This is because your property, with all of its structural damage from the fire, is surely not a safe environment for your valuables. A professional pack-out service ensures that your belongings get meticulously packed and stored offsite so that they remain safe from the soot and smoke residue from the house fire. They will remove, treat, and return your belongings to you after the restoration process is complete.
What Does the Pack-Out Service Process Entail?
The first step of pack-out is to check all of the affected possessions. The belongings are then divided into two categories – those that are salvageable and those that are damaged beyond repair. Then, the pack-out crew will take a meticulously detailed inventory of the salvageable items. Next, these items will be carefully packed to avoid any further damage and moved to a secure, offsite location.
Once your belongings are safely transported to the offsite facility, they will be thoroughly inspected for damage and then cleaned and restored to the pre-loss condition. The items will remain safely stored in this location until your house is restored. The location will also house the unsalvageable items for insurance inspections. Your items will then be returned to you and restored inside your home after following the same thorough inventory and packing process.
