2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The crew adjusts equipment when humidity stays high or a cavity reading stops improving.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Rain through a damaged opening and rising water from the ground may be treated differently by an insurer. The owner should describe the entry path accurately. The restoration technician records observed conditions. Only the insurer can interpret the policy for that damage.

• Record the time floodwater entered
• Record conversations with the insurer
• Photograph the first visible water mark

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
