When the adjuster gives you a name, that is a recommendation. Not an instruction.

You choose who works on your home. It is worth choosing carefully for one reason most people never hear: the contractor writes the scope of work your claim gets paid against.

Four things worth asking whoever you call:

- Are the technicians on my job IICRC certified?
- Will I get moisture readings every day without asking?
- Does your estimate use the same platform my insurer reads?
- Who answers the phone at two in the morning?

Michigan's first hard freeze is on its way. A few minutes now can save you a flooded basement.

1. Find your main shutoff valve today and make sure it turns. If a pipe bursts, it is the first thing you will need.
2. Disconnect garden hoses and shut off the outdoor faucets from inside.
3. Insulate exposed pipes in the garage, the crawl space and along outside walls.
4. In a cold snap, keep the heat above 55°F, even when you are away, and let a faucet drip to relieve pressure.
5. Watch for the quiet signs: a faint stain, a musty smell, a water bill that jumped for no reason.

If a pipe does let go, here is what to do in the first hour: https://on-site24.com/water-emergency-what-to-do/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

Water damage claim? What decides it is what you can show.

Before anything is moved, dried or thrown away:
1. Photograph each room wide, from the doorway.
2. Photograph the failed part up close, and keep the part if it comes out.
3. Photograph the water line on the walls and baseboards.
4. Video a slow walk through, saying what happened and when you found it.
5. Write down when you found it and when you shut the water off.
6. Keep every receipt.
7. Don't throw anything away before the adjuster or your restoration contractor has recorded it, even if it is obviously ruined.

The costliest water damage starts small, somewhere you never look. The usual suspects: supply lines, water heaters and washing machine hoses.

Before the first cold snap:
1. Replace rubber washing machine hoses with braided steel every few years.
2. Find your main shutoff valve now, before you need it.
3. In a cold snap, keep the heat above 55°F, insulate exposed pipes and let a faucet drip to relieve pressure.
4. Don't wait on the warning signs: a faint stain, a musty smell, a water bill that jumped for no reason.

What happens to your belongings after a fire or a flood? A professional pack-out, step by step:

1. Inventory. Everything is photographed and listed before anything moves.
2. Pack-out. Wrapped and boxed with care.
3. Pack by room. Every box is labeled with the room it came from.
4. Clean and restore, off site.
5. Climate-controlled storage until your home is ready.
6. Return and place. Everything goes back into the rooms the inventory says it came from.

Before anything is thrown away, ask what can be saved: https://on-site24.com/house-fire-contents-smoke/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

Sudden and accidental is covered. Gradual usually is not.

That one line decides most water claims, and it is settled by evidence, not by how well you argue on the phone.

A supply line that lets go is sudden. A seal that has been weeping behind the shower for two years is gradual, and most policies exclude it.

There is a third thing your policy asks of you that people miss. Once you know about the water, you are expected to act so it does not get worse. That part is entirely in your hands, and it is proved by what you did in the first few hours.

So photograph everything before anyone touches it, and get the water stopped.

Water is coming in right now. What do you do first?

1. Shut the water off at the main valve, or at the stop valve under the sink or behind the appliance.
2. Cut power to the flooded area at the breaker, but only if you can reach the panel without standing in water.
3. Photograph and video everything before you touch it. Your insurer will ask for the before photos.
4. Move rugs, boxes and anything made of paper or fabric off the wet floor.
5. Call. Tell us what failed, how long ago, and how far the water has traveled.

The first 24 hours decide how much you lose. The full guide, step by step: https://on-site24.com/water-emergency-what-to-do/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

Can you dry out your own house with rented equipment? Sometimes.

It works only for clean water, less than 24 hours old, on a hard floor like sealed concrete or a bare basement slab. Laminate, vinyl plank, engineered wood and hardwood trap water or cup. That is not a rental job.

If it is:
1. Water off at the main, power off near outlets, photos of everything first.
2. Wet-vac the standing water.
3. Set 3 air movers and 1 dehumidifier per 150 square feet.
4. Windows shut, 70 to 80°F, running nonstop for 3 to 5 days.
5. Check a moisture meter every day in the same spot, until wet reads like dry.

Readings stalled after 48 hours, a musty smell, cupping or staining? Call us.

On-Site rents drying equipment by the piece, with delivery and pickup. IICRC certified. When it matters most, we're Always On.

Your washing machine hose is rated for about five years. Most are still there at ten.

Two minutes today:

1. Pull the machine out and look at the hose where it bends.
2. A bulge, a crack, or rust at the collar means replace it now.
3. Replace with braided stainless steel, not rubber.
4. Close the valves when you travel.

It fails while nobody is home. That is why the damage is almost never small.

Always On to help get your life back to normal.

If you painted over a stain and it came back, the wall is still wet.

Five things that mean water is sitting behind your drywall:

- a musty smell that will not clear
- paint or wallpaper bubbling
- baseboard that has lifted or darkened
- a soft spot when you press on it
- staining that returns after painting

Here is the one almost nobody knows. Put your hand flat on the wall. If it feels cooler than the wall next to it, moisture is evaporating out of it and taking the heat with it.

None of that is proof on its own. A moisture meter is, and reading it takes about ten minutes.
