Muskego water damage: a dated scope from a 24/7 line

The first three questions on the call

The dispatcher asks whether the water is still moving, whether power is on in the wet rooms and where the water appears to come from. Those answers shape the response.

A short first-week list

The list is what a homeowner can do in the week after a loss, before and between visits.

Why a second visit is important

The second visit is where the drying is judged. The crew repeats the readings and compares them with the first set, and any slow reading is explained in the scope.
