Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

The insurer decides whether a specific slab leak loss qualifies under the policy. Photograph the first wet area, save the pipe assessment, and keep extraction notes. Do not assume the plumbing fix and drying have the same coverage.

• Save the list of removed materials.
• Separate plumbing from dry out costs.
• Ask about pipe access coverage.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
