The first priority is safe mitigation
If water is entering, protect people and belongings from a safe position. Temporary protection may reduce exposure while the permanent scope is prepared.
What documentation should include
Photos should show roof elevations, affected details, related exterior damage, and relevant interior evidence. The contractor documents construction conditions; the insurance carrier determines policy coverage.
- Confirm safe access
- Record visible damage
- Stabilize active exposure
