Record what is known about the water

Separate witnessed water entry from assumptions about cleanliness, duration, and contamination before a restoration assessment.

Record

Keep the description narrower than the conclusion

Record the first observed location, route, time, continuing flow, known repair, outside contact, drain involvement, debris, and uncertainty. Do not call water clean based on appearance. A qualified provider should classify the work and explain what experience is relevant. Keep occupants away from uncertain water and do not collect samples through an unsafe approach.
