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.

Local Expertise
Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out in Knoxville
Protecting Knoxville Belongings from Appalachian Moisture
Knoxville homes are subject to the high humidity and heavy rainfall typical of the Appalachian Foothills. In historic areas like Fourth and Gill, older homes with original wood framing can trap moisture, leading to mold growth on stored furniture and textiles. The local climate creates a constant pressure on belongings kept in crawlspaces or unconditioned attics across North Knoxville.
Heavy clay soil in neighborhoods like West Hills and Cedar Bluff often leads to poor drainage and basement seepage. During the wet spring months, groundwater can rise through foundations, damaging items stored in lower levels. This water is often laden with minerals and sediment that can stain fabrics and damage the finish on wooden furniture if not addressed quickly.
Temperature fluctuations in East Tennessee can cause plumbing failures that result in sudden indoor flooding. When a pipe bursts in a Fountain City or Parkridge home, the resulting water can quickly saturate library collections, upholstery, and electronics. The high humidity levels that follow these events can cause secondary damage, such as document curling or electronic corrosion, within a few hours.
Contents Inventory and Restoration in East Tennessee
We provide a comprehensive pack-out service for Knoxville residents, ensuring that all belongings are safely removed from the damaged environment. Our team creates a detailed inventory for insurance purposes, documenting the condition of items from Sequoyah Hills estates or Bearden renovations. This documentation is a critical part of the claim process, providing a verifiable record of all affected property.
At our cleaning facility, items are sorted and treated based on their material and the type of damage they sustained. Textiles from South Knoxville homes are cleaned using advanced methods to remove soot or water stains, while hard surfaces are sanitized to eliminate bacteria.

Electronics cleaning is a specialized service we offer to Knoxville homeowners and businesses.
