SERVPRO Helps Move Out Contents to Create Room or Safeguard Vulnerable Items

After a fire at your Pearl River residence, you should consider pack-outs since they can help in your efforts to restore preloss conditions in many ways. For instance, you can create the necessary room to perform restoration tasks. Alternatively, moving items can help safeguard them.

One of the main tasks necessary during fire damage restoration of Pearl River homes is removing sooty residues that accumulate all over interior surfaces. Another common task is drying moisture that accumulates in different structural materials during efforts to quell the fire. Reaching the different areas where sooty residues or moisture accumulates can be a challenge with contents such as furniture or appliances in place. One advantage of involving SERVPRO in the restoration process is the ease at which our technicians move contents.

Various factors can help determine the ease of movement, including:

• The relocation area
• The availability of equipment to help manipulate contents
• How the movement process is planned
