The assessment
Confirm whether the visit carries a charge, what can be inspected and how findings will be explained. A photo can help describe the enquiry but cannot establish every hidden condition.
From the first room details to the next clear decision.
Describe the water, give the address and name the person who can grant access. The receiving contractor confirms whether it can accept the job and when an assessment may be arranged.
Walk through the proposed rooms, equipment route and floor surfaces. Check who is responsible for contents handling and what is excluded before approving the pickup.
Ask which accessible areas have been extracted and what remains damp. Further moisture assessment, access or drying should be explained and priced as its own proposed stage.
Discuss the actual scope with the receiving contractor. Confirm a visit charge and a removal proposal rather than assuming a standard room price.
Confirm whether the visit carries a charge, what can be inspected and how findings will be explained. A photo can help describe the enquiry but cannot establish every hidden condition.
Ask which reachable rooms and surfaces are included, how equipment will reach the water and whether moving contents or additional access is part of the price.
Identify who can approve additions. If the visit reveals another affected area or a different access requirement, request the revised work and charges before authorizing it.
Give the full work address and unit rather than a landmark alone. Explain who can open the property, who will review the proposal and who is allowed to approve charges.
If new work is recommended, ask what changed and how the proposed scope and price differ. Confirm approval before the additional work begins.
