Guide

What Happens During a Water Damage Assessment

A walkthrough of what happens when a technician assesses your water damage.

Understanding what happened

The technician will ask when the water was discovered, where it came from and what has been done so far.

Classifying the water

Water is classified by its source and contamination level — clean, grey or black — which affects how materials are handled.

Moisture mapping

Readings are taken across floors, walls and ceilings to find the edges of the wet area.

Documentation

Photos and readings are recorded. This can help in conversations with your insurer.

Recommendations

You will receive a recommended scope — what should be extracted, dried, removed or cleaned.
