Pipe access belongs to a plumbing professional. Once the source is stopped, a water damage technician maps moisture in the surrounding rooms.

- Keep the plumber invoice.
- Photograph wet floor edges.
- Photograph the first visible damp area.
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
