Why might SERVPRO recommend a pack-out during fire restoration in Closter homes?

A pack-out involves moving the affected contents to a remote location during fire damage restoration of your Closter home. Pack-outs might facilitate SERVPRO techs to save time during the restoration of the damaged structure. 

Although pack-outs are labor-intensive, SERVPRO might recommend them in certain situations if the additional expenses are justified. Some of the most common reasons that justify a pack-out include-

  • Moving contents may enable a quicker remodeling process
  • A pack-out can protect content from potential damage during the remodeling process
  • If the structural damage is extensive and it poses a threat to security and safety
  • If the structure is saturated with water so much that humidity can damage the contents

SERVPRO takes utmost care of the contents if a pack-out is unavoidable. We meticulously box, catalog, tag, and scan each piece of content to minimize losses. 

Phases of a pack-out during water & fire damage restorations of Closter homes

The primary tasks involved during a pack-out of your Closter home fall into the following six phases:

  • Conducting the initial scope and estimating the damage
  • Pack, tag, and inventory 
  • Sort, clean, and salvage items
  • Move the contents to a warehouse for storage
  • Clean, deodorize and repack the contents
  • Move the contents back in the property

How do SERVPRO techs try to make the process as smooth as possible? 

The key to a successful pack-out is communication. SERVPRO techs communicate clearly and consistently with you throughout the process. Despite the most comprehensive system of checks and double-checks, unexpected situations might come up, and SERVPRO techs keep you abreast of the changing situation. We are committed to having your home restored “Like it never even happened.”
