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 McCall
Field notes on McCall: the housing stock, where the water comes from, and what that means for this work.
McCall's biggest single loss category is the unoccupied second home. A supply line lets go in January, nobody is in the building, and the call comes from a property manager or a neighbor days or weeks later. By then there is nothing left to extract. It is a structural drying and remediation job from the first hour.
Ten feet of snow a year is normal. Ice dams at the eaves push meltwater back under the roofing into the top plate and down the wall cavity, and snow sliding off steep metal roofs tears at vents, flashing and anything mounted on the wall below.
Short-term rentals are a large share of the housing around Payette Lake. Those jobs have to move because every day down is a cancelled booking, and the owner is usually out of state making decisions off photos and moisture logs.
Property managers and caretakers are the people who actually find the damage here. They're the ones who call, and they need to see progress on a job they're responsible for but not standing in.
It's a real drive up Highway 55 and 55 has weather closures and delays. We give McCall callers an honest arrival window and tell them what to do in the meantime rather than quoting a valley response time we can't hit.

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.
