How Water Damage Insurance Claim Help Works in Freeman

1. Remove standing water

   For a large indoor pool, the team first lowers the level before addressing saturated finishes.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Wall bases get checked after extraction because drywall can wick water above the floor mark.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily readings show whether equipment placement should change as the loss dries.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water trapped behind a cabinet can linger after the kitchen floor dries. Opening access and directing airflow toward the wet assembly helps clear it.

• Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
• Photograph floors before moving affected items.
• Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
• Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
