Restoring More Than Property: SERVPRO Team Cox’s Comprehensive Contents Services

3/12/2025 (Permalink)

When disaster strikes, whether it's fire, water, storm damage, or mold, it’s not just the structure of a home or business that’s affected. The contents within—furniture, electronics, important documents, and sentimental belongings—often suffer significant damage as well. At SERVPRO®, we understand that these items hold immense value, both financially and emotionally. That’s why our expert team offers comprehensive contents services, providing meticulous restoration and pack-out solutions to ensure your most cherished possessions are returned to their preloss condition whenever possible.

What Are Contents Services?

Contents services refer to the process of cleaning, restoring, and storing a property’s belongings after a disaster. While structural restoration focuses on the building itself, contents restoration is dedicated to salvaging everything inside—from clothing and documents to furniture and electronics. SERVPRO Team Cox specializes in handling the entire contents restoration process, offering services such as:

  • Inventory and Pack-Out: Cataloging and safely transporting items to a secure facility.
  • Cleaning and Decontamination: Using specialized techniques to remove soot, water damage, or mold.
  • Document and Electronics Restoration: Salvaging crucial paperwork and technology.
  • Climate-Controlled Storage: Keeping belongings safe until the property is restored.
  • Pack-Back and Return: Carefully delivering restored items back to their original locations.

Why Contents Services Matter

In the aftermath of property damage, many home and business owners focus on rebuilding their structures, but what about the items inside? A thorough contents restoration process can save thousands of dollars in replacement costs, reduce insurance claim expenses, and preserve sentimental belongings that are irreplaceable. SERVPRO Team Cox combines expertise, state-of-the-art equipment, and compassionate service to help customers regain a sense of normalcy after a disaster.

The SERVPRO Team Cox Contents Restoration Process

Step 1: Assessment and Inventory

The first step in our contents restoration process is a comprehensive assessment. Our experienced technicians inspect and document all affected belongings, categorizing items based on the severity of the damage and determining which can be salvaged. We use advanced inventory software to meticulously log each item, ensuring that nothing is lost or overlooked. This process not only streamlines restoration efforts but also provides accurate documentation for insurance claims.

Step 2: Pack-Out and Transportation

Once inventory is completed, our team carefully packs out your belongings, ensuring they are transported safely to our specialized facility. Each item is securely wrapped, boxed, and labeled to prevent damage and ensure easy tracking. Our goal is to reduce on-site clutter, allowing structural repairs to proceed while your possessions are protected and undergoing restoration.

Step 3: Cleaning and Decontamination

SERVPRO Team Cox employs industry-leading techniques to clean and restore damaged belongings. Our methods include:

  • Ultrasonic Cleaning: Ideal for delicate items like jewelry, ceramics, and electronics.
  • Dry Cleaning and Laundering: For clothing, linens, and textiles affected by smoke or water damage.
  • Foam Cleaning: A gentle method for upholstery and fabric-based furnishings.
  • Esporta Wash System: Specialized technology that restores soft goods to food-grade cleanliness, removing bacteria, soot, and odors.
  • Ozone and Hydroxyl Deodorization: Eliminating smoke, mold, and mildew odors from porous items.

Every item is treated with precision and care to ensure that it is restored to its preloss condition whenever possible.

Step 4: Document and Electronics Restoration

Important documents, books, and electronic devices require special attention after water, fire, or mold damage. Our document restoration process utilizes freeze-drying technology to remove moisture, preventing further deterioration. Electronics such as computers, televisions, and appliances are carefully cleaned and tested to restore functionality.

Step 5: Secure Storage

While structural repairs are underway, your restored belongings are housed in a secure, climate-controlled storage facility. Our storage solutions ensure that your items remain safe and undamaged until your home or business is ready to receive them again. Throughout the process, our inventory system allows us to track and access any item as needed.

Step 6: Pack-Back and Return

Once your property has been fully restored, we carefully pack and return your belongings. Our team ensures that each item is placed back in its original location, minimizing disruption and helping you transition back to normal life as smoothly as possible.
