Contents often carry the story of a loss. NovaPro helps document affected items and coordinate packing decisions before cleanup or reconstruction begins.

Common scenarios NovaPro documents for contents

Smoke-affected bedroom contents

A nearby fire leaves odor and residue in closets and textiles. NovaPro documents contents by room and coordinates next-step handling recommendations.

Basement water affecting stored items

Boxes, furniture, and electronics sit in standing water. The inspection photographs affected contents before movement and separates salvage, cleaning, and disposal notes.

Scope record for carrier review

A clear contents record helps separate building damage from personal property impacts and supports more organized claim communication.

NovaPro documents observed damage and restoration scope. Policy, payment, and reimbursement decisions remain with the carrier.

Questions before inspection

When should contents be packed out?

Pack-out may be recommended when contents block drying, demolition, cleaning, or repairs, or when affected items need to be separated from building materials and documented room by room.

What contents information should be documented?

Photos, room location, item category, visible condition, water or smoke exposure, movement notes, and cleaning, storage, or disposal recommendations should be separated from building scope.

Should damaged contents be thrown away immediately?

Do not discard items before they are documented unless there is an immediate safety issue. Photos and inventory notes help preserve the condition record.
