Source and water category
Where the water came from and whether it is clean, gray, or sewage-affected. This determines containment and disposal requirements.
Contact · Quote preparation
Prepare before you ask for a quote
A useful quote begins before the phone call: know the source, the affected materials, and who can access the property.

Facts to gather before contact
These details let any contractor form a real scope instead of a guess.
Affected materials
Which surfaces and assemblies are wet—flooring, wallboard, insulation, framing—and roughly how far the water has traveled.
Address and access
The full property address, which rooms are affected, and who can provide entry. This is the starting point for any written scope.
Three questions to ask any contractor
Get answers in writing before work begins.
Are you licensed and insured?
Confirm licensing and insurance for this scope, and ask for the documentation. Do not proceed on a verbal assurance.
What is your written scope?
Ask which materials will be removed, which will dry in place, and where the work ends. Boundaries matter as much as the work itself.
How will drying be measured?
Confirm which meter readings will be taken and which targets define a finished dry state—not an appearance-based judgment.
Safety before any contractor arrives
Protect yourself first; documentation comes second.
Do not enter standing water near electrical outlets or where contamination is unknown. If it is safe, stop the water at its source, move dry belongings away, and photograph the condition before anything is removed. Do not operate household fans across sewage-affected water.
Have the affected materials assessed by a qualified trade before tearing into finished surfaces. A written scope should follow that assessment.
Gather the facts, then compare scopes
The right questions turn a phone call into a written scope you can approve.
