Take Advantage of SERVPRO's Specialized Production Facility Resources While Keeping Your Belongings Safe and Secure After a Toronto Residential Fire 

Your furnishings, household goods, and personal possessions can take a real beating during a Toronto fire and the recovery efforts. Smoke, soot, and firefighting water and chemicals coat and soak deeply into your home's contents, threatening to damage them severely. Not only is the possibility of replacing all these items an expensive proposition, but much of the property also has sentimental value.

Why Are Pack-Outs Considered After Fire Damage? 

When fire damages your Toronto home, everything feels very chaotic. We recommend moving items to our production facility for two reasons: 

• Specialized resources and skilled interventions are available in a less stressful environment, allowing our contents technicians space and time to assess, plan, and implement restoration efforts. 

• Transporting the property out of your home permits the on-site crews to concentrate on mitigation and remediation of the structural components affected by the fire, unencumbered by the need to safeguard and continually shift your belongings during water removal, smoke and soot cleanup, and deodorization.

How Can I Trust That My Fire-Damaged Property Is Safe When Packed Out of My House? 

Agreeing to a pack-out of your possessions might increase worry about losing control of your treasures. To answer that concern, SERVPRO uses a unique Contents Claim Inventory Service (CCIS) to track the articles packed and transported out of the fire-damaged spaces in your home. The system uses a combination of documentation strategies to ensure your property is monitored and secure: 

• Traditional lists
• Digital photographs
• Barcoding 

Does a Pack-Out Provide Accurate Evidence for Insurance Claims? 

As we process each item, the CCIS permits us to document every article's condition and follow each as we use a range of techniques to return it to preloss function and appearance. If an item is unrestorable, notes from our assessment and efforts to clean, dry, disinfect, and deodorize can convince an adjuster to pay for the loss and replacement. 

The team at SERVPRO of North Mississauga is ready to take whatever precautions are reasonable to make it "Like it never even happened," including a pack out of fire-damaged and soiled contents. Call us at (905) 238-7376 to evaluate and recommend the best practices for your circumstances.
