“I’m Esmeralda Rios, and as the Contents Supervisor at PuroClean, I’m responsible for overseeing every packout and pack-back from start to finish. That means working closely with both insurance adjusters and homeowners to make sure every single item is handled with care and accounted for.”
After a major disaster, your home isn’t the only thing that needs restoration—your belongings do, too. At PuroClean of Sugar Land South, we specialize in safeguarding your personal property so you can focus on getting your life back on track.
Our Contents Supervisor, Esmeralda Rios, explains in this comprehensive videos what is “Contents and Pack Out” and how our team carefully moves, restores, and securely stores your valuables until your home is ready for them again.
Why Personal Property Protection Comes First
“Our Content Services team is often the first to arrive after a disaster because valuables need to be moved, cleaned, and stored right away. Quick action can make all the difference in preventing further damage.”
When valuables are affected by water, fire, or another disaster, time is critical. Items must be moved quickly—not just to make space for repairs, but to be cleaned, assessed, and stored before additional damage occurs. The mitigation process can be messy, with dust, debris, and chemicals in the air, so protecting your belongings from the start is essential.
Once mitigation is complete, reconstruction often follows, meaning your items will need to be stored for an extended period. That’s why our temperature-controlled warehouse is the safest, most reliable place to keep everything organized and protected until your home is ready.
Our Four-Step Process
Step 1: Inspection & Planning
“Every job starts with a detailed inspection, which becomes our roadmap. It tells us exactly how many crew members to send, what packing materials we’ll need, and how to handle special or high-value items.”
Most jobs begin when our office receives a request from our operations team. We review the details, confirm the address, and note any special requirements. Then we schedule an in-person inspection, which serves as the blueprint for the entire project.
Inspections help determine:
- Crew size and skill requirements
- Packing materials needed
- Special handling for fragile or high-value items
Step 2: The Pack Out

“On the morning of a job, we hold a quick team huddle. I hand out the box codes, inventory sheets, and supply counts so everyone knows the plan before we even walk in the door.”
During the pack out, our crew:

- Wraps large furniture in protective fabric and plastic
- Packs smaller items—like kitchenware, clothing, and office supplies—into clearly labeled boxes
- Documents every item for insurance and tracking
Step 3: Storage & Documentation
“Once items are packed and brought to our facility, we label, code, and photograph every single one. That way, nothing gets misplaced, and the insurance carrier has a complete record.”
Packed items are transported to our secure, temperature-controlled warehouse. Each piece is labeled, coded, and photographed for tracking. Our estimator reviews the inventory to provide an accurate estimate for the insurance provider.
Step 4: The Pack Back
“The best part of my job is the pack-back—returning items to their rightful place after a home is repaired. Seeing a homeowner’s relief when everything is clean, restored, and back where it belongs is incredibly rewarding.”
Once your home is ready, we return every item—cleaned, restored, and documented—to its original location.
Why Professional Pack Outs Matter
“Content work isn’t just about moving boxes—it’s about protecting memories. Every item has meaning, and we treat it like it’s our own.”
Our pack out and pack back crew do more than move belongings. They:
- Protect your valuables from further damage
- Clean & Sanitize all affected valuables
- Keep items secure and organized
- Help speed up the insurance claim process
