A water damage claim file is built from photographs taken before anything is moved, a dated timeline, the crew's moisture log and written scope, and receipts for emergency and repair work.

Drying time after a basement flood depends on the materials that took in water, the depth of the wet layer and how well the air can move through the space. Mold risk rises while materials stay wet, which is why drying is measured with readings rather than with the look of a surface. This guide explains both, without promising a fixed number of days.
