No arrival time is promised. The caller is told that a crew has been dispatched, and the first questions cover the house, the floor the water reached and where it came from. The record notes when the call was made for any claim.
A lot that slopes toward a house sends storm water to its lowest opening, which may be a window well, a garage threshold, a walk-out door or a crawl-space vent. A heavy rain can fill a low spot in the yard quickly, and the water then moves toward the house.
The technician reads the slope and the entry together, and records the path the water took across the lot. A change to the grading is work for a qualified contractor, and the record gives that contractor the starting point for any change.
An appliance leak usually shows first at the floor under the machine or along the cabinet base, but the water often runs further under the flooring than the stain suggests. The crew removes the kick plate and reads the cabinet base before deciding how much of the floor must be opened.
Once the source is stopped, the wet area is dried and the subfloor is read. A subfloor that has swelled is removed, and the rest is dried to readings. The record notes the source and the areas reached so the repair and the claim can be planned from it.
Photographs of the water, the entry and the affected materials should be taken from outside the wet area, with the times kept. The cleanup crew's readings, its list of removed materials and the invoices should be added as the work goes on.
The insurer and the policy decide what is covered. Ask the insurer in writing what it needs before repairs begin, and check with the office that covers the address which permit applies to any structural repair.

Water runs along the subfloor and into the cabinet base before it appears at the edge. The surface can look nearly dry while the material underneath is still wet, so the crew reads the cabinets and the floor.
Yes, if the lot sends surface water toward a low opening in the foundation. The technician reads the slope and the entry together, and records the path the water took.
A qualified contractor reviews and changes the grading if it is needed. The cleanup crew records what the grading appeared to be doing and gives that record to the contractor.
