Start by documenting all damage with photos for insurance, then handle temporary fixes — tarping, board-up, and water removal — to prevent further damage and mold.
Overview
Start by documenting all damage with photos for insurance, then handle temporary fixes — tarping, board-up, and water removal — to prevent further damage and mold.
What's involved
Prioritize repairs that keep water out: roof, windows, doors, and flashing. Then move to interior drywall, flooring, and finish work.
Key takeaways
- Photograph damage before any cleanup
- Tarp and board up to stop further damage
- Fix water entry points first, finishes second
