Contents Packout Services in Irricana
Irricana sits on open prairie about 53 kilometres northeast of Calgary, where spring melt and summer downpours run toward basements and a single sewer backup can soak everything stored below grade. When that happens, or when fire or smoke damages your home, Calgary Contents packs out your belongings, photographs every item and takes them to our facility while the house is repaired.
We plan Irricana jobs around the drive and the volume, so the crew arrives with the right materials and the house is cleared in as few trips as possible.
When an Irricana Home Needs a Pack-Out
Basement losses are the most common reason we are called to Irricana: water or sewage reaches storage rooms, rec rooms and laundry areas, and wet boxes and furniture start to mould within days.
Fire and smoke are the other big one. Even a small fire can leave soot through the whole house, and belongings need to come out before cleaning and repairs can start.
Irricana losses we see most often:
Sewer backups into finished basements
Spring melt and storm water below grade
Burst pipes during cold snaps
Fires and smoke spreading through the house
Hail damage letting water in from above
Basement renovations after a loss
Pack-Out for Irricana Basements and Homes
Wet basement contents need sorting fast. We separate what can be dried and cleaned from what was soaked by sewage, photograph each item for your photo inventory and move restorable belongings to our facility for cleaning, deodorizing and storage.
Items that cannot be made safe are documented for your adjuster rather than thrown out, so they still count on your claim. See which belongings can be saved after a sewer backup.
Your Irricana pack-out includes:
Sorting wet items by contamination and material
Photo inventory of every item, kept and discarded
Packing and labelling by room
Transport to our Calgary facility
Cleaning, deodorizing and climate-controlled storage
How We Handle an Irricana Pack-Out
Speed matters most with wet basements, so we move from the first call to packing as quickly as the job allows.
Step 1: First call
We find out where the water or fire started, what was affected and who your adjuster is.
Step 2: Sort and document
On site, belongings are sorted into restorable and non-restorable, and every item is photographed.
Step 3: Pack and transport
Restorable items are packed, labelled and driven to our facility in northeast Calgary.
Step 4: Clean, dry and store
Items are cleaned, dried and deodorized, then stored and tracked until your home is ready.
Step 5: Return
We bring everything back to Irricana and place it where it belongs once repairs are done.

FAQ – Contents Pack-Out in Irricana
Do you work in Irricana?
Yes. Irricana is about 53 kilometres northeast of Calgary, and we pack out homes and businesses in and around the town.
Can belongings be saved after a sewer backup?
Hard items such as dishes, metal and many electronics can usually be cleaned and disinfected. Porous items soaked with sewage often cannot and are documented for your claim.
Should I throw out wet boxes and furniture?
Not before they are photographed. Keep them until your adjuster agrees they can go, unless they are a health hazard.
Is a pack-out covered by insurance?
When the loss is covered, it usually is. Sewer backup and overland flooding need their own coverage on most Alberta policies. See does insurance cover pack-out in Alberta.
