Extract the floor and the cavity

Dry and verify

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim
Insurers tend to ask how long the water has been leaking and where it came from. A removal crew's photos and readings help show the timeline. They do not decide what the policy pays.
- Log the date and the name of everyone you talk to at the insurer
- Record the water category the crew found
- Keep the crew's written scope with the policy papers
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
