Water under tile may not appear until it reaches a wall edge. The crew checks adjoining spaces before deciding the drying footprint.

   Floor water is removed with suitable extraction tools. Soaked porous layers are evaluated for possible removal.

3. Address soaked layers

   Only materials that can be dried are left in place. The crew records any removal for the property owner.

4. Track drying results

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Do not assume the pipe fix and floor drying have identical coverage. The trades perform different work and keep different records. Discuss with the insurer how to submit both sets of documents.

• Photograph wet floor edges.
• Photograph the first visible damp area.
• Keep initial moisture readings.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
