How Water Damage Insurance Claim Help Works in New Baltimore

1. Remove standing water

   Hard surfaces are vacuumed carefully so liquid does not keep migrating beneath baseboards.

2. Find absorbed moisture

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

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Insulation holding water can keep a wall cavity damp even after the surface feels dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers encourage evaporation while dehumidifiers capture moisture from the air.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Stopping the source limits new water, but it does not dry existing saturation. The extraction crew removes liquid water and measures the materials left behind.

• 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.
