A clear repair plan starts with the source. First, record where water appeared and what changed during the thaw.
Explain whether leaks followed warmer weather, rain or both. Also, mention earlier stains or repeat dampness in the area.
Photograph visible damage from a safe location. However, avoid climbing onto roofs or entering unsafe wet rooms for pictures.
Ask how the team will trace the leak. Then, confirm which roof or drainage repairs may be needed.
Water can spread beyond a visible stain. Therefore, include nearby floors, walls and ceilings in the assessment where appropriate.
Report visible growth or musty odours. Also, explain whether the problem returned after earlier cleaning or repairs.
Some damaged materials may need disposal. Before removal, discuss items that may be saved and how the area will be protected.
Ask how the team checks readiness for new finishes. A surface may look dry while moisture remains underneath.
Finally, review maintenance and source repairs. Keep photos and work records so future leaks are easier to investigate.
