Eric Rudkin
Owner
Eric joined CRS after a successful 24-year career in logistics, transportation, and customs brokerage, where he helped clients across various industries design, implement, and manage domestic and international distribution networks.

Having personally navigated the restoration process as a homeowner, Eric brings firsthand knowledge and empathy to his work, understanding the challenges clients face when dealing with property damage. This perspective and experience enables him to serve clients with care and attention in their time of need.

“Before owning a content recovery business, our own family went through a catastrophic water leak that forced us out of our home for over six months. We had no idea services like this even existed — and we wish we’d known! That experience shapes the way we treat every customer: with empathy, urgency, and respect.”
Our digital inventory system takes a photo of each and every item, whether it’s salvageable or a total loss. The comprehensive inventory report goes to you and your insurance company, giving you peace of mind that every item is accounted for and helping to resolve your claim with your insurance company faster.
