Identify the actual service provider
Ask for the legal business name, responsible contact and who will perform the work. Confirm relevant credentials and insurance directly. This information site does not establish a contractor’s qualifications, availability or relationship with your insurer.
Understand the first visit
Ask whether the visit is an assessment, emergency work or both. Confirm fees and who can authorize work. If your building is managed or rented, clarify the owner’s or manager’s role before agreeing to removal or repair.
Ask how the plan is justified
Request an explanation of affected materials, moisture checks, equipment placement and any proposed removal. Ask what circumstances would change the plan. A useful answer connects the work to findings at your property.
Make charges and changes visible
Clarify labor, equipment rental, monitoring, disposal, contents movement, storage and repairs. Ask how extra days or newly discovered damage will be approved. Do not rely on an oral promise that an insurer will cover everything.
Know what completion includes
Ask for written final records and a list of remaining repairs. Clarify who to contact about equipment issues, changes or a recurring leak. Keep copies of signed agreements and invoices with your photos and source-repair notes.
