About This Service
When a property sustains significant damage, the contents — furniture, electronics, clothing, documents, art, and personal items — are at immediate risk of secondary damage from ongoing moisture, soot, or mold exposure. Salem Steamer's content pack-out service removes your belongings from the affected environment, catalogs every item with photographic documentation, and brings them to a climate-controlled facility for assessment, cleaning, and restoration. Items that can be restored are treated and returned. Items that cannot are fully documented for your insurance claim. Our process protects your property and ensures that nothing is lost to neglect during the restoration period.
Our Process
Every item in the affected area is photographed, cataloged, and assigned a condition rating before removal. This documentation forms the evidentiary record for your insurance claim and ensures complete accountability throughout the pack-out process.
Contents are packed using professional materials and transported to our climate-controlled storage facility. Fragile, high-value, and sentimental items receive individual attention — nothing is treated as generic cargo.
Each item is assessed for restorability and treated appropriately — ultrasonic cleaning for electronics and hard goods, ozone or hydroxyl treatment for odor-affected soft goods, and specialized cleaning for documents, art, and sensitive materials.
Once the property restoration is complete, contents are returned and reinstalled in their original locations. A final walkthrough confirms that every item has been accounted for and is in the agreed condition before the job is closed.
