The work sequence
Planning flood cleanup
Use these questions to compare the proposed scope before authorizing work.
- 01
Wait for safe access
Follow emergency and utility instructions. Do not enter standing water near electrical equipment or a space with unstable ceilings or walls.
- 02
Describe the entry path
Record whether water entered at a door, window well, lower wall or floor drain. A photograph taken safely may help distinguish entry from the damage it caused.
- 03
Separate cleanup and prevention
Ask what cleaning and removal are needed now, and whether drainage repairs require a different specialist. Cleanup alone may not correct the entry path.
Before the assessment
Prepare the property details
The address, water source and access conditions help the provider assess the job.
- 01
Your complete address
Include the unit, floor and access instructions. Confirm that the business serves this address and handles this type of loss.
- 02
What happened and when
Describe the apparent source, discovery time, affected rooms and whether water is still entering. Say when the cause is unknown.
- 03
A clear written agreement
Ask for company identity, assessment fees, scope, exclusions, timing, payment terms and approval of changes.
Common questions
Flood cleanup questions
Ask the provider to explain its assessment and any limitations.
Should I drive through a flooded street to reach the property?
No. Follow road closures and official directions. A restoration visit can wait until the route and building are safe.
Can this site determine insurance coverage?
No. Describe the source to your insurer and ask how your policy applies. A restoration estimate does not decide coverage.
