Pack-Out Services: Protecting High-Value Art & Electronics

By Michael McClure, Contents Specialist

The Pack-Out Process: Safeguarding Your Legacy

Quick Answer: A ‘Pack-Out’ is the systematic removal of contents from a damaged property for off-site restoration. Using digital inventory systems (iCat), we track every item. High-value art and electronics undergo specialized freeze-drying or ultrasonic cleaning to arrest corrosion and mold, ensuring heirlooms are returned in pre-loss condition.

Key Takeaways

  • Digital tracking ensures nothing gets lost during the restoration journey.
  • Off-site cleaning is significantly more effective than on-site attempts.
  • Climate-controlled storage is essential to preventing secondary environmental damage.

“A house can be rebuilt. A family heirloom cannot. We treat your things like our things.”
