When a disaster like fire, flood, mold, or storm strikes your Tucson home, safety is your priority. However, after the danger has passed, your biggest concern is what happens to your belongings. Moving items like furniture, electronics, and documents helps protect them from further damage. You need professional pack-out services to help safely relocate and store your belongings.
At Better Box, we specialize in the careful removal, inventory, storage, and restoration of your contents during the disaster recovery process. Let’s walk you through how the pack-out process works and why it’s a critical step in restoring your home and peace of mind.
What is a Pack-Out Service?
A pack-out service refers to the process of safely removing and handling a home’s contents after a disaster, especially when the structure is damaged or undergoing restoration. The process involves carefully packing the items, inventorying them, and transporting them to a secure location where they are cleaned or restored as needed.
The goal is to protect your possessions from further damage, streamline insurance claims, and give contractors the space to repair your home. Often, pack-out services are covered under homeowner’s insurance policies, particularly after fire, flood, or water damage.
Our Step-by-Step Pack-Out Process
Every disaster is unique, but our Tucson team follows a comprehensive pack-out process to ensure your items are handled with care. Our process includes:
- Assessment and Planning – Our team starts with a complete on-site inspection. We assess the level of damage and determine which items are salvageable, including developing an action plan prioritizing high-value or sentimental items. This planning process often involves coordination with you and your insurance adjuster.
- Detailed Documentation and Inventory – This step involves documenting each item through photos, barcodes, and detailed descriptions. The inventory helps track your items through the entire process and supports any insurance claims. Digital recording ensures you can view your items even when they are in storage.
- Careful Packing and Labeling – We carefully pack your items using professional-grade packing materials to prevent damage during transit, including specialized materials for fragile items. We also pack some items separately for additional protection. We then label each package or box for easier retrieval and tracking.
- Transportation to a Secure Storage Facility – This step involves moving your items to our secure and climate-controlled facility. Our off-site storage facilities are under 24/7 surveillance to ensure the safety of your items as your home undergoes repairs.
- Content Cleaning and Restoration – While in storage, our team of experts uses specialized equipment to clean, deodorize, and restore damaged items as needed. The services may include smoke odor removal, mold remediation, drying, and disinfecting.
- Return and Reinstallation – Once your home has been fully restored, we coordinate the return of your belongings. We carefully reinstall and place back each item to its original location whenever possible or according to your preferences.
