   An upstairs loss prompts the restoration worker to examine the ceiling below.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   The technician documents any cabinet or wall material removed for drying.

4. Dry and confirm the result

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

A claim review does not remove water from a closed cabinet. The crew can extract and dry it while documenting conditions. The homeowner should discuss policy terms with the insurer.

• Separate plumbing costs from drying costs.
• Document cabinet parts removed during cleanup.
• Note whether the fixture valve stopped the water.

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