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

Where a lake-side village loss tends to start

A village near water can see a loss start at a lower drain or a pump before it reaches the house from outside. The crew asks first which of those it is, because the answer changes the first steps and the order of the readings.

The notes the crew makes at the start of the call are carried onto the scope, so the first visit begins from what the homeowner saw rather than from a second account given later in the day.

Notes for a lower level

Lower levels hold water out of sight, and the crew checks them early.

After the first visit

The homeowner has the scope, the photographs and a drying target. The second visit repeats the readings, and each set is given to the homeowner.
