Call or Text: 214-718-1685What's Happening on Your Job Right Now
You've probably just:
- Found and fixed a leak
- Shut off a supply line
- Replaced a water heater
- Repaired a slab leak
- Stopped an active water issue
But now you're standing there looking at:
- Wet floors
- Soaked furniture
- Cabinets swelling
- Belongings that may need property-specific assessment
- A homeowner asking what to do next
Those next steps should be assigned to qualified providers under separate, authorized scopes.
This Page Is For
- Plumbing technicians in the field
- Service plumbers and leak detection crews
- Slab leak specialists
- Supervisors and dispatchers
- Office staff supporting field techs
If you're the one getting asked "what do we do about all this?" — this is for you.
The Situation You Run Into Every Day
You fix the problem. But the job doesn't feel finished. Because now there's:
- Water damage inside the home
- Contents that may need to move under the work plan
- Flooring that may need to come out
- A homeowner who doesn't know the next step
- A possible claim with policy-specific notice and documentation requirements
And you're stuck being the first person they ask.
The Gap Nobody Explains
Homeowners may ask one provider to solve every part of the loss. In practice, each role depends on its own contract and authorization:
- Plumber → performs the authorized source repair
- Mitigation → assesses hazards, moisture, and structural drying within its scope
- Contents vendor → performs only the signed, item- and room-specific contents scope
- Contractor → performs separately authorized reconstruction
We can review that contents step after hazards are controlled, safe access is available, authorization is signed, and scheduling is confirmed.
Where We Step In
After source repair and a qualified site assessment, an authorized contents scope may include:
- Agreed furniture and belongings handled when access is safe
- Photos and condition notes for items in the performed scope
- Item disposition recommendations subject to qualified guidance and required approvals
- Agreed handling steps based on reported conditions and item requirements
- Storage only under written terms that define conditions, access, duration, availability, and charges
- Pack-back only after safe access, item location, reconstruction readiness, and scheduling are confirmed
So you're not standing there trying to explain something outside your scope.
What This Does For You
When you have a qualified contents contact to consider:
- You can explain that plumbing, mitigation, contents, reconstruction, and claim decisions are separate
- You can give the customer a contents contact without promising acceptance or timing
- The customer can request a property-specific contents review
- Project contacts can identify authorization, access, and scheduling dependencies
- Each provider can remain within its own agreement and professional scope
That matters more than people think.
What Homeowners Ask You (And What You Can Say)
They ask:
- "What do we do with all this stuff?"
- "Is this covered by insurance?"
- "Do we need to move everything out?"
- "How fast does this need to happen?"
You don't need to explain everything. You just say:
"A contents company can review the requested work directly with you; availability and scope still need to be confirmed."
Jobs We Get From Plumbing Calls
We step into situations like:
- Slab leaks under hardwood floors
- Burst pipes in walls or ceilings
- Water heater failures
- Refrigerator or dishwasher line breaks
- Multi-room flooding
- Slow leaks that turned into major damage
Especially when contents are already affected — or construction is coming next.
When to Call Us
Call us when:
- The leak is fixed but damage is visible
- Contents are wet or at risk
- The homeowner is overwhelmed
- Flooring or cabinets are affected
- Mitigation is about to start
- You know the job is bigger than just plumbing
Earlier contact can help identify scope, authorization, access, and scheduling dependencies; it does not guarantee acceptance or timing.
For Plumbing Companies & Dispatch
If you're in the office:
- Trying to help a tech in the field
- Getting calls about "what next"
- Supporting multiple service calls
- Wanting to give customers a clear next step
You can share our contact information. The customer or authorized representative must request and sign the contents scope, and we will confirm safe access, current availability, and scheduling directly.
This Is How Jobs Actually Flow
A clean job looks like this:
- 1. The plumber performs the authorized source repair
- 2. Qualified mitigation personnel assess hazards, moisture, and dryout needs
- 3. If needed, the customer authorizes an item- and room-specific contents scope
- 4. Reconstruction proceeds under its separate work plan
- 5. If authorized, pack-back is scheduled after safe access, item location, and reconstruction readiness are confirmed
Actual sequence, documentation needs, responsibility, and timing remain property-, contract-, and claim-specific.
Why This Matters More Than You Think
You're the first person in the house. That means you shape what happens next.
If you give them the right next step:
- They trust you more
- They remember you
- They refer you
- They call you again

When It Becomes a Bigger Job
Sometimes the situation expands into reconstruction, a claim, or a possible relocation. Total Packout Solutions performs only its signed contents scope. A customer may separately contact Stonebriar Moving Services about moving services; that company's acceptance, availability, terms, pricing, item requirements, and scheduling require a separate agreement, and this reference does not guarantee coordination, coverage, or performance.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What should a homeowner do after a leak is fixed?
Address immediate hazards first, follow instructions from emergency or safety officials, and notify the insurer using the policy's required method. A qualified mitigation provider should assess structural drying needs. When it is safe, document reported conditions and request contents work only under a signed, item- and room-specific scope.
Do plumbers handle contents?
Roles depend on each provider's contract. A plumber generally performs the authorized source repair, while mitigation, reconstruction, and contents vendors remain responsible only for their own separately authorized work.
How fast should contents be removed after water damage?
There is no universal removal window. Timing depends on hazards, safe access, moisture conditions, the mitigation plan, affected items, signed authorization, and current crew availability. Follow qualified mitigation or industrial-hygiene guidance for the property rather than delaying urgent protection work.
Is packout covered by insurance?
Coverage, deductibles, required documentation, and payment depend on the policy and the insurer's claim decision. A contents estimate or billing arrangement does not guarantee coverage or payment.
Do you work with plumbing companies directly?
We can review a referral and coordinate the authorized contents scope with the customer and relevant project contacts. Each provider remains responsible for its own work, agreement, scheduling, and representations.
Can you respond quickly?
Call or text with the address, reported conditions, requested rooms or items, and authorization status. We will confirm current availability and next steps; the page or city name does not guarantee acceptance or a response time.
Do you bill the carrier directly?
Billing follows the signed agreement and authorized scope. The insurer independently decides coverage, documentation requirements, and payment; a Direction to Pay or direct billing arrangement does not guarantee any of them. Deductibles and other customer obligations remain subject to the policy, claim decision, and signed agreement.
What areas do you cover?
Service depends on the specific address, reported site conditions, requested scope, signed authorization, and current crew availability. Contact us to confirm whether we can accept the job.
Leak Fixed — Now What?
