Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

The flood policy may distinguish building damage from contents. A contractor’s records can support both descriptions when those items are affected. Only the insurer interprets the policy.

• Confirm claim reporting deadlines
• Photograph the first visible water mark
• Preserve cleanup invoices and payment records

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
