When you submit, our on-call team gets a text instantly. You'll get a confirmation text right away.

Got it. We’re calling you within 5 minutes.

Keep your phone nearby. If water is still spreading, shut off the main valve now, it’s usually in the basement or crawl space, on the street-facing wall.

While we’re on the way

The first 48 hours

1

Don’t throw anything out

Damaged items are the evidence for the contents claim. Leave them where they are until they have been photographed and logged.

2

Don’t clean items yourself

Household cleaners set stains and lift finishes on many materials. Each surface needs its own method, so wait until items are assessed.

3

Call your insurer, then us

Contents claims are settled on the inventory. We photograph, itemise, and log room by room on the first visit, before anything is packed.

Unsure about any of these? Call (385) 354-5813 and we’ll walk you through it while the crew drives.

What’s included

From pack-out to move-back-in

  • Emergency board-up, roof tarping, and site security, same day
  • Firefighting-water removal and structural drying (the water side is our core trade)
  • Soot and smoke-residue cleaning matched to each surface, see the table
  • Odor neutralization by the right tool: thermal fogging, ozone, or hydroxyl, named in the scope, not “deodorizing”
  • Contents inventory and pack-out to climate-controlled storage
  • Reconstruction under the same scope, one company to move-back-in
Surface by surface

Why every material cleans differently

Surface
What soot does
Our treatment
Painted walls & ceilings
Acidic residue stains and etches within days
Dry-sponge lift first, then chemical sponge, wet-wiping smears
Wood & cabinetry
Residue works into grain and finish
Surface-appropriate cleaners, refinish assessment, odor sealing where needed
Metal & fixtures
Corrosion and pitting begin within hours
Early wipe-down with corrosion inhibitors, the most time-critical surface
Textiles & contents
Odor binds to fibers
Pack-out for specialty cleaning and ozone/hydroxyl treatment off-site
Large-loss documentation is the claim.
Fire claims are the biggest files most families ever open: structure, contents, and additional living expenses all at once. We inventory room by room, photograph before anything moves, and scope in Xactimate, and our fire coverage guide explains what your policy actually pays for.
what Contents cleaning and pack-out covers

One event, three losses

Pack-out, cleaning, and return

Contents work runs in three stages, and every stage is documented against the same inventory. Keeping all three under one scope is what stops items going missing between a mover, a cleaner, and a storage unit.

Loss 1

Pack-out

Every item photographed, tagged, and boxed on a numbered inventory before it leaves the room.

Structural rebuild →
Loss 2

Clean & store

Each item cleaned by its material, then held in climate-controlled storage until the home is ready.

Smoke odor removal →
Loss 3

Return & set-back

Items come back, are checked off against the inventory, and are placed where they were before the loss.

Water damage restoration →

Why Highwater

Why families trust us with their belongings

One accountable company from the first photograph to the last box back on the shelf, with a claim file your adjuster can actually work from.

Documented before moving

Photographs and a numbered inventory come first, so nothing about your belongings is disputed later.

Pack-out through return

Pack-out, cleaning, storage, and return under one roof, one schedule, one point of contact.

Contents claim mastery

Room-by-room inventory, Xactimate scopes for the contents side, and direct billing.

Cleaned by material

Each item is matched to a method by what it is made of, and odor is treated before anything returns.

Insurance claims

We handle your contents claim, start to finish

Contents sit under their own limit, separate from the building, and they are settled on the inventory rather than on a walkthrough. We log every affected item room by room, scope it in Xactimate, work with any carrier, and bill directly, so your only real cost is your deductible.

How your claim goes, step by step

1

Photograph every room

Condition photos of every affected item before anything is packed.

2

Room-by-room inventory

Every affected item logged for the contents side of the claim.

3

Scope in Xactimate

Cleaning, storage, and non-salvageable items, in the format your adjuster uses.

4

Coordinate & bill direct

We answer the adjuster’s questions and bill your insurer for covered work.

5

You pay only your deductible

On a covered claim, that is your real out-of-pocket, and you know it up front.

Typically covered

Cleaning, pack-out, storage, and replacement of belongings damaged by a covered loss, under your policy's contents limit. Moving and storage are usually included.

Watch the fine print

Sub-limits on jewellery, art, wine, and collections are common, and some policies cap how long storage is paid for. We flag these early and document to protect the claim.

$0 out of pocket, beyond your deductible
On a covered fire claim, our goal is nothing from you past your deductible.
Every carrier, no network required
We work for you and with any insurer. Direct billing and Xactimate scopes on every claim.
Ask about living expenses
If you are displaced, your policy likely covers lodging and meals. We help you document ALE from day one.

Ask us how your contents limit and any high-value sub-limits apply before the pack-out begins.

FAQ

Questions we hear

Are my belongings covered separately from the building?
Yes. Contents sit under their own limit on your policy and are settled on the inventory, not a walkthrough. We log every affected item and scope it in Xactimate.
How long do you store my belongings?
Items stay in climate-controlled storage until your home is ready to receive them. Some policies cap how long storage is paid for, which we check early.
What happens to high-value items like art or wine?
They're logged on a separate high-value register and handled to the standard each piece needs. Sub-limits on jewelry, art, wine, and collections are common, so we flag those early.
Will my electronics be safe?
They're checked by a specialist before power-up. Some can be saved, some can't, and we'll tell you plainly which is which.
Do you clean items yourselves, or send them out?
Both, depending on the item. Textiles and some specialty pieces go off-site by fiber and finish; most household items are cleaned and repacked on our racking.
Will everything make it back to the same spot?
Yes. Every returned item is checked off against the numbered inventory and set back where it was before the loss.
