Questions to Ask a Provider

Checklist

1. Photograph every affected room before moving items
2. Avoid plugged-in devices near water
3. Write down the likely source and discovery time
4. List flooring/walls/cabinets touched by water
5. Save receipts for temporary mitigation supplies
6. Do not disturb suspected sewage-contaminated areas without proper protection

Questions to answer before requesting help

• What room or area is affected?
• When did you first notice the issue?
• Is the condition active, recurring, or stable?
• Do you have clear photos?
• Is anyone currently at risk from utilities, structure, sewage, or health concerns?

Why this matters

Good documentation improves provider triage and helps separate urgent issues from research-stage questions. It also creates a cleaner lead record if this site is later rented to an approved local partner.
