Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
A packout typically includes the assessment of damaged items, the removal of those items from the affected property, inventory management (creating a detailed list of the items), secure packing in appropriate containers, and transportation to a climate-controlled storage facility.
Most packout and contents restoration services include a short period of storage (typically 30-60 days) as part of the initial package. Longer storage durations will incur additional monthly fees.
Once your belongings are packed and stored, a restoration specialist will assess them and provide a separate estimate for cleaning and repair. You have the option to proceed with restoration services or transport the items to a different facility.
