SERVPRO Cleans Salvageable Items During Water Damage Cleanup in Chicago

Commercial water damage restoration services can make a big difference regarding what you can save and what can go wrong when an unfortunate occurrence happens. Knowing where to start and the specific procedures you need to perform to prevent further damage is challenging. Remember, you are in business, and wasted time may lead to unnecessary losses.

Part of SERVPRO's water cleanup services in Chicago is to perform contents pack-out. It involves removing items from the damaged area and then moving them to another location for temporary storage and drying. It is an essential service since it prevents further damage and creates enough room for the restoration work to begin.

An effective content pack-out involves the following steps:

• Contents assessment: During this step, we differentiate salvageable items from unsalvageable ones. We are keen to note the fragile items so they can be handled with care.
• Labeling and packing: Our SERVPRO technicians label the salvageable items and then pack them into containers or boxes. The labeling process involves noting their exact location so they can be returned to their proper place at the end of the water removal process.
• Transportation: We move the items to a safe location, preferably in an unaffected area within the building. We may suggest offsite storage solutions if such an area does not exist.
• Documentation: We fill a detailed inventory covering all the items we removed from your commercial site. We may take photos as backup evidence.
• Cleaning and restoration: We use appropriate water damage restoration techniques to clean and dry the items as necessary.

Our SERVPRO technicians pay close attention to every detail and keep you updated during the entire water damage cleanup process. The information we record in the inventories is also helpful when following up with insurance claims. Inventory loss can be catastrophic to a fledgling concern
