You Might Need Help Completing Successful Content Processing
After disasters such as fire, flooding, or theft, specific procedures are necessary to restore normalcy, especially if you operate a business or other commercial facility. One such essential procedure is content processing, which helps you gain a clear understanding of what remains and the condition of these items, allowing you to plan further actions, such as filing insurance claims.
Content processing for your Bristol property extends beyond a simple inventory of items; this is especially true for cases involving severe physical damage from water or heat exposure. The procedure depends on the property size and the extent of damage, with small jobs taking less than 3 days, while large commercial establishments can take over a week. Thorough inspections are necessary to determine the condition of your valuables.
Typical content processing tasks
- Mitigating further damage
- Inventory taking
- Proper documentation and reporting
The different aspects of content processing make it overwhelming to handle alone. Rainbow Restoration professionals plan and execute the process conveniently. We board up broken windows, tarp damaged roofs, and shut off utilities to mitigate the damage. We also evaluate the property for safety issues.
Documenting everything is the core part of content processing, so a detailed record is necessary. Rainbow Restoration crews take comprehensive videos and photos of every property section and every damaged item. An inventory list is also essential, providing precise details of your items, including brand, model number, and the type of damage incurred.
Content Processing for Packouts
Sometimes disasters necessitate the removal of valuables to an off-site facility for temporary storage or specialized cleaning. Content processing in such cases is necessary to protect and track each item from the time it leaves your premises until it is returned. Rainbow Restoration is well prepared for such cases.
Essential steps when processing packouts:
- Pre-packout assessment - helps classify items based on whether they're salvageable or require on-site cleaning
- Creating an inventory - creating a list of items, their descriptions, and photos
- Systemic packing and handling - packing items in groupings like room-by-room, material, or contamination type
Disaster damage should not overwhelm you, whether it affects your home or business. Rainbow Restoration of Tri-Cities has the expertise, equipment, and care to manage every step of the content processing process. Contact us today for fast and stress-free service.
