Who are the involved parties in this process?

An estimator from our team assesses your client’s contents, advises you on how we can serve you, and receives your work authorization. Your estimator will be your primary point of contact with us. A project manager, who oversees in-house management of customer jobs, is also assigned to you. Your project manager works in tandem with the estimator to maintain effective workflow management. If your estimator is not available, please call our office and ask for your project manager.

How soon will I know what items can and cannot be restored?

In many cases, we can give you a clear idea of which items can and cannot be restored right away. For items that require more in-depth evaluation, we’ll let you know upfront and provide updates as soon as testing or additional steps are complete. Items that cannot be salvaged are itemized on the Total Loss Inventory Report, which is provided to the customer and insurance adjuster.

What happens if certain items are beyond repair?

While our team strives to restore all salvageable items to their pre-loss condition, we compile a total loss inventory of all unsalvageable items to help streamline the claims process. During the cleaning process, we sometimes discover that certain items are not salvageable. These items are swiftly added to the Total Loss Inventory report for insurance purposes.

What happens after the initial assessment?

Once our initial assessment is complete, we’ll review our findings with you, outline which items can and cannot be restored, and discuss next steps. This typically involves creating a detailed inventory and carefully packing and transporting your client’s belongings to our secure facility.
