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.

• Record the date and time water was discovered.
• List each affected room.
• Describe the first sign accurately.

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