Step 5: Cleaning and Sanitizing

At this stage of the drying process, we’re still removing materials and determining if you require a move out or pack out process.

At this point, we will engage with your agent or adjuster to determine the best method to continue drying your property.

If your personal items are wet, we will move them to our safe, environmentally controlled warehouse for cleaning and restoration.

All items are thoroughly documented and carefully packed before moving, and both you and your agent will receive a copy of the content list.

Once in our warehouse, we’ll inspect your contents again to determine if they also need odor removal and deodorization treatment in addition to the standard restoration process.

Household goods that weren’t affected, but still need to be removed to continue the restoration process, may be moved into an on-site container for easier packing back.
