The work sequence
Planning water extraction
Use these questions to compare the proposed scope before authorizing work.
- 01
Locate the source
Tell the provider if water is still entering. A plumber may be needed to repair a failed supply line before restoration begins.
- 02
Explain the access
A basement stair, condo elevator or narrow driveway changes how equipment reaches the space. Share these details before an assessment.
- 03
Plan the drying handoff
Ask which wet materials remain after extraction and how they will be measured. A floor without puddles is not proof that the assembly is dry.
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
Water extraction questions
Ask the provider to explain its assessment and any limitations.
What should I move?
Stay out of unsafe areas. If access is safe, photograph belongings before moving them to an unaffected space; ask the provider about heavy or saturated items.
Is water extraction the whole job?
It removes bulk water. Drying, cleaning, material removal and repairs may be separate work, with separate costs.
