Local context for San Francisco water damage
Ask how long materials were wet and whether moisture may be trapped under flooring or behind baseboards.
Before scheduling help, describe whether the water came from plumbing, rain, a drain, a sewer backup, an appliance, HVAC equipment, or an unknown source. The source changes the questions a provider may ask about safety, removal, drying, and cleanup.
What to document before cleanup
- Wide photos of every affected room.
- Close-up photos of walls, floors, ceilings, baseboards, and contents.
- The likely source and when water was first discovered.
- Receipts for emergency supplies or temporary repairs.
