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.

Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out in Lexington
Protecting Bluegrass Belongings from Karst Geology Risks
Lexington limestone karst geology means that groundwater can rise quickly during heavy rain, putting household contents at risk. In neighborhoods like Chevy Chase and Ashland Park, rising water tables can push moisture into basements and crawlspaces through foundation cracks. Items stored in these areas, such as furniture and seasonal decorations, can be ruined by water and the silt it carries.
High humidity levels in Central Kentucky are a constant threat to organic materials stored in unconditioned spaces. In Hamburg and Beaumont, items kept in garages or attics can develop mold and musty odors due to the humid air. This environmental moisture can also lead to the degradation of textiles, photographs, and documents if they are not moved to a climate-controlled environment.
Winter freezes in Fayette County often lead to plumbing failures that result in sudden indoor flooding. When a pipe bursts in a Masterson Station or Gardenside home, the water can quickly saturate rugs, upholstery, and electronics. The high humidity that follows these events, combined with the indoor heat, creates a perfect environment for mold to colonize damp contents within 24 to 48 hours.
