Our Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out Services Process
On-Site Assessment & Inventory
Room-by-room walkthrough with barcoded tagging, photo documentation, and category coding (salvageable, non-salvageable, high-value) so nothing is missed and every item is traceable back to the claim.
Professional Pack-Out
Trained crews carefully wrap, box, and load contents into padded, climate-controlled trucks. High-value items, art, and electronics are crated separately. A signed inventory manifest leaves the property with you.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Hard goods (kitchenware, tools, blinds, figurines, chandeliers, metal furnishings) are submerged in tanks where high-frequency sound waves lift soot, smoke residue, and biological contamination from every crevice.
Esporta Wash System for Soft Contents
Clothing, linens, plush toys, leather, and shoes are cleaned in a hydraulic wash system that restores an average of 85% of items considered non-salvageable by conventional laundering, including items exposed to Category 3 water and heavy smoke.
Ozone & Hydroxyl Deodorization
Odor molecules from smoke, mold, and biohazard events are broken down at the molecular level in sealed chambers. Ozone for unoccupied items, hydroxyl for sensitive materials like electronics and photographs.
Electronics & Media Restoration
Corrosion neutralization, ultrasonic circuit-board cleaning, and controlled drying for TVs, computers, audio equipment, and appliances. Data recovery coordination for damaged drives.
Document & Photo Recovery
Vacuum freeze-drying and desiccant drying for water-damaged books, paperwork, photographs, and vital records. Ozone and gamma treatment for mold-contaminated documents.
Art, Antiques & Heirlooms
Specialty handling for oil paintings, framed art, antiques, firearms, wedding dresses, and family heirlooms. Coordinated with certified conservators when items require museum-grade treatment.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Secured, monitored, temperature and humidity controlled vaults. Access is logged, contents are insured while in our custody, and you can request specific items back at any time.
Pack-Back & Placement
Once your property is ready, we return every item to its original room using the inventory manifest. Furniture is reassembled, art is rehung, and a final walkthrough confirms nothing is missing or damaged.

Freeze-Thaw Cycles and Crawlspace Humidity Put Indy Assets at Risk
Indianapolis experiences frequent freeze-thaw cycles that place significant stress on residential plumbing systems throughout Marion County. In older neighborhoods like Irvington and the Old Southside, aging supply lines are particularly vulnerable to bursting in unheated crawlspaces or exterior walls. These failures often result in substantial water releases that saturate furniture, textiles, and flooring before the source can be shut off.
The high humidity levels of a Central Indiana summer can lead to mold growth in the many vented crawlspaces found in neighborhoods like Broad Ripple and Fountain Square. This moisture can migrate into the living areas of the home, affecting the condition of clothing, upholstery, and wooden furniture. Without proper moisture control, even items that are not directly touched by a leak can develop musty odors and fungal contamination.
Sump pump failures are a leading cause of basement flooding in the suburban areas surrounding Indianapolis, including Greenwood and Avon. During intense spring storms, a loss of power or a mechanical malfunction can lead to the rapid flooding of finished lower levels. This puts high-value assets like home theater equipment, gym gear, and guest room furniture at risk of damage from groundwater and runoff.
