Meet the Owners
Contents Are Our Top Priority
At Content Recovery Specialists (CRS), we pride ourselves in restoring your memories after experiencing a fire or flood so those memories can be enjoyed for years to come.
Prerna and Satish are co-owners of two regions in Central Texas, each bringing over 20 years of experience in technology and business development. They sought a unique challenge—to build a business from the ground up that would push their limits, create jobs, and positively impact their community. Their journey with CRS began about a year ago, drawn by the company’s strong values, commitment to excellence, and its niche in restoration and packout services—an industry new to them but one that deeply resonated.
Looking ahead, they are eager to grow their business, collaborate within the CRS community, build new relationships, and share their experiences with new franchisees. Their journey reflects determination, community spirit, and a commitment to making a meaningful difference—core values that align perfectly with CRS’s mission to restore more than property, but peace of mind.

We Have You Covered
Professional Contents Cleaning
We treat your personal belongings with the care and respect they deserve. We use advanced restoration technology in Austin, Texas and surrounding areas to help recover and protect your cherished possessions.
If you’ve had damage to your home and personal belongings, here are some things to keep in mind:
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW?
- In smaller fires, content and structure cleaning should be the first task to address
- Soot and fire extinguisher dust left on items can “etch” the items making them unrestorable (when touching items wear gloves to lessen etching)
- If you are living in the home, breathing in the soot floating in the air can be bad for your health
- We also will assist with any duct cleaning needed to clean the air system.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW?
- Contents normally need to be addressed first after the home has been secured and released from fire investigators
- This allows for the restoration companies and adjusters to have a clear picture of the extent of structural damage
- The longer items are covered in soot and water, the lesser the chance for restoration
- Removing items creates a safer environment for crews
- For non-restorable items, we will photo inventory every item in an easy-to-read report for you to share with your insurance company.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW?
- We use state-of-the-art inventory software to create a comprehensive digital inventory all of your items
- All of your contents are categorized by type and room for organization
- Detailed item information is recorded (brands, model numbers, and serial numbers)
- Inventory is taken onsite as we safely pack your belongings for transport to our facility
- All items are detail cleaned, deodorized, repacked and stored in our secure facility for safekeeping while your home is repaired.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW?
- We will also create a list of non-restorable items also known as non-salvageable or total-loss items
- This list will come in an Excel spreadsheet format as well as a PDF report with photos, serial numbers, and model numbers of each item
- Our attention to detail ensures everything is cataloged properly down to your favorite ink pen
- Reports are easy to navigate for you and your carrier to determine the value for your belongings.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW?
- Water damage to contents can quickly grow microbial growth and mildew
- Wood furniture can quickly warp beyond repair and irreplaceable documents can deteriorate
- Non-salvageable items will be documented for your insurance company
- Removing items will help facilitate a quicker, safer repair process for your structure
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW?
- Microbial growth can be very hazardous to you and your families health
- Often times microbial growth in structures is addressed but contents is overlooked in the remediation process
- Packing out of unaffected contents lessens the risk for cross contamination
- Packing out of affected contents assists for quick remediation as well as helps facilitate quicker repairs
