Monsoon Home Water Damage Checklist

Start with the water source

Before rebuilding drywall, identify the likely source when possible. Repairs can fail when plumbing, roof, drainage or cooling-system issues remain active.

Assess the material

Look for swelling, softness, stains, crumbling edges, damaged tape and changes in texture. The correct approach may range from controlled drying to removal and replacement.

Restore the finish

After the affected material and moisture problem are properly addressed, finishing can include patching, joint treatment, texture matching, priming and painting.

Provider questions

What caused the water intrusion?
What needs to be dried or removed?
What materials will be installed?
How will the finish be matched?
What credentials belong to the independent provider?
