San Antonio Residents Can Rely on Pack-Out for a Successful Flood Damage Restoration Outcom

Flooding in your San Antonio home can be a harrowing experience. Central Texas from Dallas to San Antonio has the unfortunate nickname of “Flash Flood Alley.” Heavy rains can change the landscape from parched and afflicted by drought to many feet deep in dangerous moving water quickly. If your home is in the path of a flash flood, the structure and contents of your dwelling can be at risk.

One way residents improve their odds for a successful recovery from flood damage in San Antonio is to take advantage of our pack-out option. Removing furnishings and household and personal possessions immediately have dual benefits. The articles chosen for pack-out can receive specialized attention while the structure and fixtures can be dried out more efficiently emptied of these items.

Pack-Out During Flood Damage Restoration

SERVPRO uses a well-designed and detailed protocol to inventory and track items our technicians remove from the flooded areas of your home. Our Contents Claim Inventory Service (CCIS) utilizes digital documentation paired with lists and a barcode system to keep track of the possessions we transport to our production facility.

Evaluation of the flood damage done to pack-out inventory permits SERVPRO to keep you and your insurance company apprised of articles we can save, including the methods used and which we determine are unsalvageable. Our production technicians use innovative cleaning and drying techniques to rescue items you might consider ruined. We have freeze-drying for paper and thermal chambers for electronics.

Removing a significant amount of furniture and stored items from the flooded levels of your home makes it much less stressful to remove water and design structural drying configurations. Heavy furniture and a wide range of stored items would need to be continuously moved as the water removal, and drying occurs. SERVPRO technicians can reposition equipment more efficiently, and the soaked items out of the space cannot contribute to higher humidity levels in the work area.
