Content Restoration Pack Out Services in Kalispell, Montana
A content pack-out is done after a water or fire loss to a home or business. It involves inventorying, boxing and packing each item from the premise to a secure location to be stored and/or cleaned.
This is an important first step for you in the restoration process for a structure. To make it easier and faster for you to clean and rebuild the structure, each piece of content from the home should be removed. There are many ways to do this and some take longer than others, but a well planned and thought out pack-out can lead to a seamless claim process for you, the homeowner, insurance adjusters, and contractors.
For an Effective Pack-Out to be successful it should:
Provide overview images of each area capturing the amount of damage.
Document pre existing damage
Clear item descriptions for each item
Is it cleanable or non-salvageable?
What room it came out of.
What box it is placed into.
This will make your life easier for you in the future.
We use a tool called Encircle, and it not only speeds up the pack-out, leading to a faster rebuild, but also makes the claim process easier with submitting documents to insurance. For more info on how that works you can read about More effective pack-outs.

A well documented pack-out includes pre existing damage, damage from the fire, and shows how bad the fire actually was. This can help the restoration professionals and insurance adjusters access what is cleanable and what is non salvageable. For water loss claims, we can keep non affected items separate as well, and concentrate efforts on the most affected ones first to prevent further damage.
After the pack-out is complete, having a well inventoried list of each item in the home means it is easier to find things that may be needed sooner by the home owner. Encircle is equipped with a search field in the app showing what room, box size, and box number the particular item is located.
