SERVPRO Walks Us Through How They Manage Move-Outs

Occasionally, when water damage occurs inside of someone's home, it is essential to remove the furniture and belongings from the area in order to properly dry the structure. Additionally, sometimes it is necessary to remove someone's belongings and take them to a facility where they can be dried separately. Regardless of why the contents of someone's home may need to be removed, it is essential for them to be returned to their rightful place once brought back. SERVPRO has developed a perfect system for removing and returning a customer's possessions during a move-out process.
 
Michael Harmon, an employee of SERVPRO of Ana South, explains how your things are carefully stored when they are not in your home. "We have all of the products that are stored in these vaults, which are stored in our warehouse..." Each unit is expertly organized and stacked so that the space inside is used optimally. Each piece of furniture is individually wrapped in multiple layers of plastic sheeting so that no damage comes to it while being moved. Additionally, boxed items are stacked according to weight inside the units.
 
When it comes to performing a move-back, SERVPRO is always careful with your belongings. Harmon explains that the employs carefully "take the products that are in the vaults and load them onto the truck." After the contents of the truck are brought to the customer's home, SERVPRO begins to "unpack boxes and replace all of the stuff in their proper locations from where we originally packed them..."
 
Harmon goes on to explain how SERVPRO keeps our customer's things so organized and how they know exactly where to replace them. The technicians organize the boxes by giving them detailed labels. On the box, "...we tell them what room it goes in, what the item is, [and] what cabinet or shelf number it goes on." When everything is labeled so precisely, it is quite easy to return it to its proper location.
