What the work involves
The actual scope, in the order it matters. If a step is missing from someone’s bid, ask them why.
- Photograph and inventory contents room by room, numbered and logged, before anything is moved.
- Pack and transport, with separate handling for electronics, artwork, documents, and items that need specialty cleaning.
- Clean salvageable contents off site, where we can use methods that are impractical inside a damaged building.
- Store cleaned contents until the structure is ready, then pack back and place items in the rooms they came from.
- Produce a non-salvageable list with photos and replacement detail for the claim, so nothing is discarded without a record.
Some things do not clean. Upholstered furniture and soft goods heavily loaded with Category 3 water or protein smoke, mattresses, and most pressed-board furniture end up on the non-salvageable list, and we would rather put them there on day one than clean them, charge you, and have you throw them out in March anyway. You approve every item on that list before anything is disposed of.

What we see in Idaho City
Field notes on Idaho City: the housing stock, where the water comes from, and what that means for this work.
Idaho City sits at about 3,900 feet on Highway 21. The corridor between there and Boise is mountain homes and cabins, a large share of them occupied part-time: Robie Creek, Wilderness Ranch, Clear Creek, Mores Creek.
Part-time occupancy is the whole problem. A supply line or a pump line breaks in February in a house nobody is in and runs for days or weeks. What we're called to is rarely a wet floor; it's a saturated structure with active microbial growth.
Wells, pressure tanks and pump houses instead of city water. Those failures dump continuously and there's no meter at the curb to shut off, so we sort out the shut-down before we start moving water.
Wood heat and unconditioned crawlspaces are standard up there. Stack effect pulls ground moisture up through the floor all winter, and a good share of the 'we had a leak' calls turn out to be a long-running moisture problem the leak only made visible.
Winter access is real. Highway 21 gets snow and ice, and the side roads into the subdivisions often aren't plowed to the door. Ask on the phone what we can reach today and you'll get the actual answer, including the days when the actual answer is not yet.

Questions we get
Straight answers, including the ones that occasionally talk someone out of hiring us.
How do I know I will get everything back?
Everything is photographed and numbered where it sits before it is boxed, and the inventory is yours from day one. You can see the list and the photos on your job page. Nothing is disposed of without your approval and a documented reason.
Who pays for pack-out and storage?
On a covered loss, contents coverage typically pays for pack-out, cleaning, and storage, and it is a normal line item in an Xactimate estimate. We put the pack-out scope in writing before the trucks show up, so you can confirm it with your adjuster before rather than after.
What happens to things that cannot be cleaned?
They go on a non-salvageable list with photos, description, and enough detail for the carrier to price replacement. Soft goods heavily contaminated by Category 3 water or protein smoke are the usual entries. We do not throw anything away first and document it second.
