WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD DO
What to do, and what not to do
✓ What to do
- Confirm that any active source and immediate safety hazards have been addressed.
- Collect existing assessment records, photographs, and work invoices.
- Ask which materials are wet, damaged, or proposed for removal.
- Request separate scope items for mitigation, drying, cleaning, and reconstruction.
- Confirm provider responsibilities and insurer requirements before authorizing repairs.
✕ What not to do
- Do not begin repairs until materials have been checked and are dry.
- Do not accept a single lump-sum quote with no itemized scope.
- Do not sign work authorizations you have not read.
- Do not throw away damaged items before documenting them.
- Do not assume the provider handles every trade.
- Do not hire an unlicensed contractor for structural repairs.
If there is immediate danger, contact emergency services. Do not enter a hazardous area to complete these steps.
