The work sequence
Planning structural drying
Use these questions to compare the proposed scope before authorizing work.
- 01
Record affected materials
Ask how the provider will distinguish wet flooring, subfloor, wall cavities and unaffected comparison areas. Concealed assemblies may need closer inspection.
- 02
Manage the air and moisture
Air movers and dehumidification should fit the materials and room conditions. Opening windows is not a substitute for a measured plan.
- 03
Review progress records
Ask for readings and equipment dates, plus an explanation of any proposed removal. Confirm who signs off before walls or floors are closed.
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
Structural drying questions
Ask the provider to explain its assessment and any limitations.
How long will drying take?
There is no reliable fixed promise without an assessment. Material layers, extent of wetting, access and indoor conditions affect the duration.
Does drying include rebuilding?
Often it does not. Confirm whether painting, baseboards, flooring and reconstruction are included or require another contractor.
