SERVPRO Provides Pack-Outs and Ultrasonic Cleaning to Rescue Our Manhasset Neighbors Precious Possessions

SERVPRO Has a Long List of Highly-Effective and Research-Based Strategies Available to Mitigate Both Structural and Contents Flood Damage for Manhasset Area Residents

Flooding that follows storm damage in your Manhasset house creates a chaotic situation, complicated if the flooded space has living areas or contains stored items. When the professionals arrive to start containing and extracting the water, their efforts can be impeded by the furnishings, household goods, and personal possessions in the space. We recommend consideration of a whole or partial pack-out of contents as a flood mitigation method.

How Can I Be Sure My Personal Property Is Secure During a Pack-Out?

We understand that our residential customers struggle with a feeling of control loss when struggling with flood damage in Manhasset. Relinquishing the responsibility of packing up and transporting items to members of our production facility team is a decision you make with confidence. Our Contents Claim Inventory Service (CCIS) uses a mix of written lists, digital photography, and barcoding to document the condition and location of the items.

How Are the Packed-Out Items Processed?

If your property has a secure, dry space large enough to store the affected contents, SERVPRO might move them to that staging area. The on-site team tasked with the flooded spaces in your home can focus on extraction, cleaning, disinfecting, and structural drying without needing to move items constantly. Humidity levels inside your home are easier to control without the added load of moisture from the contents. We can take all or selected things to our production space for specialized interventions including:

• Small chamber drying, disinfection, and deodorization
• Freeze-drying for wet papers and photos
• Immersion and ultrasonic tanks for cleaning of durable, non-porous items
• Industrial washing and drying systems for textiles and soft items
