Packout
and
Storage

If your home or commercial property has been damaged by fire, water, mold, or sewage, there are probably about a million things on your mind. As you scramble to get professional cleanup, remediation, and restoration of your home, there’s one essential consideration that can’t be overlooked: Getting your salvageable possessions out of the space and restored as much as possible.

At Restorerz Emergency Services, we often provide packout services in combination with our other restoration work, ensuring any surviving belongings stay in good condition until your home is back to its original state.

What Are Packout Services?

Professional packout services are essential when a restoration company is working on your home after it has sustained serious damage, such as water damage or severe mold growth. Packout services involve removing any and all undamaged belongings from the home, transporting them out, storing them safely, restoring them as much as possible, and finally returning them to the home once restoration is finished.

As a go-to packout company near you, you can trust Restorerz Emergency Services to handle this task with the utmost care and respect for your property, cleaning, restoring, and deodorizing your items while also protecting them from any further damage until your home has been completely repaired and restored. We also ensure proper documentation throughout the packout process, which can be a big help when it’s time to file your insurance claim.

Our Packout Process

What can you expect when you get Restorerz Emergency Services to provide packout services near you during a restoration? Here’s how our process works:

• Step one: We begin with an initial assessment of your home and any damage (e.g., flood damage, fire damage, etc.), as well as the condition of your belongings.
• Step two: Your possessions are sorted into one of two piles: salvageable and unsalvageable.
• Step three: We compile a detailed digital inventory of all salvageable possessions, which includes serial numbers, photos, descriptions, and more. This information is logged into a tracking software to help you make an insurance claim later on.
• Step four: With every item cataloged and sorted, our team carefully packs up all salvageable belongings. We always use protective materials to prevent any further damage to your possessions.
• Step five: With all items packed, boxed, or wrapped, they’re loaded onto a climate-controlled truck and securely transported to one of our storage facilities.
• Step six: As one team works on restoring your home, another team uses specialized tools to dry, clean, sterilize, and deodorize your belongings. We ensure complete removal of unpleasant odors, visible damage, and potential hazards, such as mold spores or volatile organic compounds.
• Step seven: As soon as restoration is complete on your home, we’ll transport your restored items back and place them in the space.

Commercial Packout and Storage Services

Disasters like fires and floods are equally devastating in commercial spaces as they are in homes. Because of the significant expense that can result from losing tools, equipment, or merchandise during these incidents, many of our clients opt to invest in commercial packout services to reduce overall financial losses. We provide these services for commercial properties of all kinds, including retail stores, offices, restaurants, institutions, factories, warehouses, and more.

We have vast storage warehouses, which means we can handle large-scale packout needs as necessary. We’ll restore items wherever possible and will ensure extremely thorough documentation to help your business maximize its insurance claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does insurance cover packout and storage after a claim?

Insurance generally covers packout and storage after a claim if a covered incident caused the property damage. This means packout would be included for smoke-damaged items if your policy covers fire, for instance.

How do I get my belongings back after storage?

Once your items and home are restored, we’ll deliver your items back to you in the same manner they were packed out. This pack-in process is included in the costs of packout and storage.

How long will my belongings be in storage?

We’ll hang onto your items in storage until your home or business is restored, repaired, and returned to its original state. This timeline varies depending on the situation, but it will generally take between three and eight weeks. If you prefer to get your items back sooner and store them elsewhere (like a storage unit or another home), we can arrange that as well.
