   The crew extracts pooled water from the Colfax room before it reaches more flooring.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Moisture mapping records how far the thaw leak moved from the split.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   The crew assesses whether floor covering can dry in place or must be lifted.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Final checks help show when structural drying is complete.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Gradual leakage is often handled differently from a sudden split. A plumber may identify the cause while the restoration crew documents the water damage. Let the insurer assess the policy terms.

• Retain final moisture measurements
• Ask for initial material moisture readings
• Photograph the first visible water before extraction

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