Trained Content Technicians & Certified Specialists
At CRS, our content technicians are more than just packers—they’re trained specialists in the art and science of content recovery. Each team member undergoes rigorous training in handling a wide range of items, from fragile heirlooms to hazardous materials, ensuring that every item is treated with care and precision. Our technicians are also educated in industry best practices, including IICRC standards and EPA lead-safe renovation protocols, giving adjusters confidence that contents are being handled safely and professionally.
During a CAT event, when conditions are chaotic and time is limited, having certified specialists on-site makes all the difference. Our crews know how to navigate compromised environments, assess item salvageability, and execute packouts with speed and accuracy. Whether working alongside mitigation teams or independently, CRS technicians maintain a high standard of service that reflects positively on the adjuster and the carrier. Their professionalism and empathy also help reassure policyholders, turning a stressful situation into a more manageable experience.
Seamless Communication & Coordination
In the both CAT and non-CAT events, effective communication between all parties involved is essential to keeping claims moving and policyholders supported. Content Recovery Specialists (CRS) acts as a central hub of coordination, working closely with insurance carriers, adjusters, restoration contractors, referrers, and the insured to ensure every aspect of the content recovery process is aligned and transparent.
From the moment we’re engaged, CRS assigns a dedicated project manager who serves as the single point of contact for the claim. This individual facilitates updates, schedules, and documentation flow between all stakeholders, reducing confusion and delays. Whether we’re coordinating with a restoration team on-site, updating an adjuster on inventory status, or reassuring a homeowner about their belongings, our communication is proactive, consistent, and professional. This collaborative approach not only streamlines the recovery process but also reinforces trust across the board—especially when adjusters are managing dozens of claims simultaneously.
