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 Star
Field notes on Star: the housing stock, where the water comes from, and what that means for this work.
In the late 1990s Star was an agricultural town of a few hundred people. It has been one of the fastest-growing cities in Idaho since, and post-2005 construction covers nearly every address we work, a large share of it post-2020. The failures are new-construction failures: fittings that were never fully crimped, angle stops, and appliance connectors.
The Boise River runs along Star's south edge, and the older acreage north of Highway 44 is still on gravity irrigation. Crawlspaces on those parcels load with ground moisture all summer, which is a different problem than the subdivision calls a mile away.
On a home still inside its builder warranty window we document the source separately from the damage. Who pays for the failed fitting and who pays for the drying are two different conversations, and mixing them costs the homeowner time.
Star reads like a long drive and isn't one. Our crews stage out of South Nampa, so it's a straight run up Highway 16 or across Highway 44.

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.
