[Step 1] Evaluation – Recovering what can be saved
Each loss site is visited by one of our trained and certified contents specialists who evaluates whether contents can be managed on site in less severe situations, or removed from the site and brought to our state of the art facility for more involved cleaning. Our staff will make determinations on whether or not items can be restored, perform a detailed inventory that includes digitally capturing the items via photographs, notations, and numeric or bar coding to track your items the entire way through the process.
[Step 2] Inventory and Packout
After all the items have been evaluated they are then professionally packed or wrapped in order to load onto moving vans for secure and efficient transport. Packing may require some items to be pre-treated or fast-track identified since certain conditions may exist that will cause irreparable damage if not handled immediately.
[Step 3] Sorting and Cleaning
Since items vary so greatly in materials and design, a variety of cleaning methods may be utilized to return your property to a pre-loss condition. Specialty items or high value items may require specialized handling. These specialized cleaning
methods include:
