Estimating & Workflow
Pack-out
Removing contents from a damaged home so they can be cleaned, stored, or inventoried while repairs happen. Pack-outs are billed by the item or by the hour, and carriers expect an inventory with quantities and condition, because undocumented contents are the easiest part of a claim to cut.
