Insurance companies prefer to work with water damage restoration companies skilled in pack out procedures. SERVPRO uses a precise protocol to inventory the materials moved out of your home. We can use simple tagging and labeling and also scanning. As we work through the damage done by the water crisis, we also develop documentation that supports your claims (CCIS), limiting your out of pocket expenses. Clearing out these articles eases the job of the technicians at your home, making the pumping and extraction of water more straightforward and beneficial.

SERVPRO’s IICRC trained production technicians are thoroughly familiar with innovative and research-based methods to remove water from a vast array of damaged items. We set up drying chambers for furnishings, containing the space with barriers and even negative pressure air scrubbing equipment to prevent cross-contamination of any microbial activity encouraged by moisture. Limiting the drying space around individual articles or groups of items allows us to control the balance of air movement and temperature, applying dehumidification as needed to return them to previous function and appearance.

Some materials need specialized procedures for successful water removal. Documents and books respond well to lyophilization, a freeze-drying technique under vacuum pressure that vaporizes and removes moisture without again exposing the papers to damaging liquid water. Electronics require specific techniques to displace the moisture and ensure corrosion halts and is addressed. SERVPRO directs our technicians to dry exterior casings and then suggest a third-party specialist to work on the delicate interior components. We keep abreast of new opportunities in the industry through continuing education.
