Water Damage Restoration Checklist

by Tina Landry, from the Community

This water damage restoration checklist guides technicians through a complete recovery process after leaks, floods, or burst pipes. Record the cause and category of water intrusion, assess contamination, and measure moisture in porous and low evaporation materials. Confirm all standing and surface water is extracted, then document drying and dehumidification steps using fans and commercial dehumidifiers. Enforce PPE, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial cleaning, with mold removal and prevention as needed. Note unsalvageable materials, repairs, and any major reconstruction. Capture photos and generate a clear report suitable for clients and insurers.
