When you’re faced with fire or water damage as a property manager, your initial focus is likely the steps you need to take to resolve structural damage. While restoring the structural integrity of your property is key, it’s equally important to consider what needs to be done to protect personal property, or the contents inside the property. Everything from personal belongings to business inventory is valuable on multiple levels, and any mistakes that are made while handling these items could result in additional losses or complicate insurance claims. It’s for this reason that professional content packout teams such as Blue Kangaroo Packoutz are essential partners for property managers during the restoration process.

An Efficient, Yet Comprehensive, Assessment of Contents
As the largest dedicated contents restoration company in the nation, our content packout team is recognized for our thorough process. This starts with our initial assessment, which includes a detailed examination of every item that has been affected by the fire or water loss. From there, our team members use their expertise to determine which items can be salvaged or require the implementation of specialized restoration techniques. They will also identify which belongings are beyond repair.
This step is an invaluable one for property managers as it involves clear documentation that facilitates accurate insurance claims. It also provides the reliable information tenants or owners need during this challenging time. Furthermore, thanks to the efficiency with which we are able to conduct this step, restoration workers can begin addressing severe structural damage caused by fire or water with speed.
White-Glove Packout Services, Digital Inventory, and Tracking
We’re proud to say that property managers also turn to us thanks to our use of a detailed digital inventory system, which makes it possible for individual items to be tracked in real time. We provide a white-glove approach when packing out items post-assessment and transport them with care, adding to the peace of mind that both owners and managers are looking for as they await the restoration process.
Specialized Cleaning, Restoration, and Storage
After the packout process is complete, we transport items to our climate-controlled facilities or, if needed, treat them on-site. With professional restoration experts on hand, we are always prepared to take an item-specific approach to cleaning and repairs. This means that we can be entrusted with a wide range of items that have been affected by moisture and smoke, including electronics, furniture, textiles, antiques, and artwork.
For property managers, this expert approach could allow for eventual savings by reducing replacement costs. It also boosts tenant satisfaction in the long run and protects the reputation of the property as a whole.
Careful Packback and Return
When the property is habitable once more, it’s time to begin the packback process. We focus on making this step as seamless as possible so that tenants and property owners can get back to life as normal and feel at home and comfortable as they settle in. Our team members make things easier for property managers and owners alike by ensuring that each and every item goes exactly where it was, avoiding any hassle or friction. Additionally, the fact that property managers only have to deal with a single point of contact during the return process helps limit the potential for challenges in terms of communication or coordination.
