What should I record after flood water enters a property?
When it is safe to do so, note which rooms and materials were affected, how high the water reached, when it entered and whether it may have come from a drain, plumbing leak or outside flooding. Photograph the damage before removing materials and follow relevant safety guidance, especially around electricity and contaminated water. Drying and repair needs depend on the water source and affected construction. For below-ground spaces, see basement waterproofing.
