Locate the source
Say when the water appeared and whether it continues. An active source and safe access come before equipment.
From the first description of the water to a clear agreement about the next step.
Every stage should answer a practical question about the property.

The contractor considers the affected rooms, floor layers, handling needs and the route into the property.
Confirm the scope, charges and who can approve changes. Extraction equipment follows the actual material and water depth.
Ask what water was removed, where moisture remains and what follow-up work would require a separate agreement.
Ask which charge covers extraction and which findings could lead to further drying or access work. A better-looking surface should not be described as a verified dry assembly.
If you intend to make an insurance claim, keep your own records and ask the insurer about your policy. A contractor cannot guarantee a claim decision.
Have the address, affected rooms and source information ready. Confirm availability, the assessment and work terms with the independent contractor.
