Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Slab Leak Cleanup Questions in De Land
Should a De Land owner photograph damage?
Photos record visible conditions before extraction. Keep them with plumber and drying documents.

Yes. They show whether wet materials are improving and help verify completion.
Does a De Land slab leak always show a puddle?
No. Water may first appear as a warm patch, damp seam or swollen baseboard.
Should a De Land homeowner call a plumber first?
A plumber locates and fixes the leaking pipe. The cleanup crew handles any water left in floors, walls or cabinets.
