Contents Pack-Out & Cleaning
Your belongings moved out of the way, cleaned, and brought back.
Short answer
A contents pack-out moves belongings out of the work area during a water or mold job, so the structure can be dried or remediated and the contents protected. Sterling photographs and inventories what we move, packs it, relocates it on site or off site as the job requires, cleans what can be cleaned, and brings it back when the work is done.
