FAQ — Content Solutions Inc

Question 1

What does Content Solutions Inc actually do?

Accepted Answer

Content Solutions Inc. is a specialized contents claims management and consulting company. When a fire, flood, hurricane, theft, collapse, or other covered event damages property, CSI steps in to determine what was there, what was damaged, what can be cleaned or restored, what must be replaced, and what the items are worth — then documents everything in a way that supports a fair, efficient claim settlement.

Our core services include: Contents Inventory (detailed cataloguing of furniture, electronics, appliances, clothing, tools, artwork, and specialty items); Contents Valuation (accurate replacement cost research for every item); Contents Investigation & Verification (site inspections, photographs, receipts, and documentation review to reduce disputes and inaccurate submissions); Pack-Out Management (inventory before removal, documentation, storage tracking, and return coordination); Debris & Damaged Contents Assessment (identifying salvageable vs. non-salvageable items and disposal requirements); and Expert Claims Reporting (professional reports that support settlement decisions for carriers, adjusters, attorneys, and policyholders).

Question 2

Why Content Solutions Inc?

Accepted Answer

Most contents companies are inventory vendors they count items and produce lists. CSI is a contents claims consulting and resolution company. We combine licensed insurance expertise, field investigations, contents valuation, and settlement-focused reporting with NICS technology to deliver something most vendors cannot: documentation that actually closes claims.

Our team includes licensed Independent Adjusters with 29+ years of claims experience. That means we understand how carriers evaluate contents claims, how depreciation and valuation affect settlement, what documentation is required, and what causes disputes and delays. We have settled thousands of contents claims and know exactly what it takes to get a claim across the finish line for both the carrier and the policyholder.

Question 3

What makes CSI different from a standard inventory vendor?

Accepted Answer

The difference is expertise and purpose. A standard inventory vendor documents what was lost. CSI documents, investigates, verifies, and substantiates what it takes to settle the claim.

Our tagline says it plainly: From Damage to Documentation to Settlement. We don't just count contents we verify, value, and substantiate them. That means every report we produce is built around the documentation standard that carriers, adjusters, and attorneys need to resolve a claim without disputes or delays. It is the difference between a list and a settlement.

Question 4

What types of claims and losses do you handle?

Accepted Answer

We handle residential and commercial contents claims arising from fire, smoke, water, wind, lightning, theft, vandalism, and other covered perils. Our services cover the full scope of a contents claim: field investigations, NICS-powered assessments, packouts, debris removal, dry cleaning, content appraisals, claims appraisal services, mediations, and large-loss commercial claims.

We work alongside insurance carriers, independent adjusters, public adjusters, and attorneys — serving whoever needs contents claims handled accurately and efficiently.

Question 5

Do you guarantee your pricing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our packout and debris removal service is guaranteed to cost less than any restoration contractor billing through Xactimate. CSI keeps costs low as a way to pay it forward — one claim at a time. Our cost module is fully transparent with no hidden fees, and assessment reports are delivered within 10 days of the field inspection.

Question 6

What is NICS and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

NICS — the National Intelligent Claims System — is the most advanced contents cataloguing and pricing platform in the industry. It applies real-time, web-researched Like, Kind and Quality pricing to every item we document, producing verifiable, line-by-line assessments that are faster and more accurate than any manual process.

Question 7

How does NICS pricing compare to Xactimate?

Accepted Answer

NICS pricing is based on real-time web research for each specific item — not generic database values. Every price includes a verifiable link and specification comparison, so carriers, adjusters, and policyholders can confirm the accuracy of every line. This level of transparency significantly reduces disputes and accelerates settlement.

Question 8

How quickly are NICS assessment reports delivered?

Accepted Answer

Complete assessment reports are delivered within 10 days of field inspection completion. Our NICS-powered workflow allows us to catalogue and price large volumes of contents accurately and efficiently — without sacrificing the thoroughness that produces defensible reports.

Question 9

What documentation is included with a NICS report?

Accepted Answer

Every NICS report includes field photographs of each item, a 3D structural sketch of the property, a full video walkthrough, and a line-by-line pricing report with verifiable links and specification comparisons. This comprehensive documentation package supports fast, dispute-free settlement.

Question 10

What does a field investigation include?

Accepted Answer

Our field investigation includes a complete on-site visit where we photograph every content item in the loss, document property conditions, capture a 3D structural sketch, and record a full video walkthrough. This thorough documentation forms the foundation of every NICS assessment we deliver.

Question 11

What is included in your packout service?

Accepted Answer

Our packout service includes the careful removal, inventory, and secure storage of personal property from the loss site. Every item is catalogued and tracked from packout through return, with full chain-of-custody documentation. Our packout and debris removal pricing is guaranteed to beat any Xactimate competitor.

Question 12

Do you handle dry cleaning for damaged contents?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Salvageable clothing, textiles, and soft goods are routed to professional dry cleaning services. We coordinate the entire process and document every item before and after treatment — maximizing recovery for policyholders while minimizing unnecessary replacement costs for carriers.

Question 13

Can you handle large-loss commercial claims?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our licensed Independent Adjuster has extensive experience with large-loss commercial claims. We apply the same NICS-driven field investigation and documentation rigor to high-value commercial engagements — from initial assessment through final settlement support.

Question 14

Who do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We work with insurance carriers, independent adjusters, public adjusters, attorneys, and policyholders who need contents claims handled with precision. Whether you are assigning a claim, seeking an independent appraisal, or navigating a dispute, CSI brings 29+ years of experience and NICS technology to every engagement.

Question 16

What is a Hold Back assessment?

Accepted Answer

A Hold Back assessment addresses the withheld portion of a contents claim — the amount the carrier has not yet released pending proof of replacement or additional documentation. We provide the detailed NICS-backed report needed to support release of Hold Back funds, drawing on our 29+ years of claims experience to navigate the process efficiently.
