A plumber finds and fixes the pipe beneath the slab. The restoration crew in Clinton extracts the water and dries affected floors and walls.

- List each affected room.
- Store daily readings together.
- Photograph the first visible damp area.
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
