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 Meridian
Field notes on Meridian: the housing stock, where the water comes from, and what that means for this work.
Meridian was farm ground into the late 1990s. Most of what we're called to is post-2000 construction: PEX, plastic-bodied angle stops, braided appliance connectors, and whole subdivisions whose water heaters reach end of life within a few years of each other.
The builder subdivisions are a mix of slab-on-grade and vented crawlspace. On the crawl homes there's usually a vapor barrier, but it's rarely sealed at the seams or run up the stem wall, so ground moisture still loads the joists and the underside of the subfloor.
Two-story plans here put the laundry on the second floor. A supply hose or a pan drain failure upstairs runs down an interior wall and shows up first in the garage ceiling or a kitchen soffit. Two levels are wet before anyone sees water.
Water heaters in attached garages are the repeat call. No pan, or a pan with a drain line that goes nowhere, and the water tracks under the wall plate into the carpeted room on the other side.
Older Meridian, the original grid around downtown, is a different building entirely: pre-1970 stock on shallow crawlspaces, original drain lines, and cast iron that is finally failing.

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.
