Start before materials are moved
Take wide photos of each affected room, then closer photos of flooring, drywall, cabinets, ceilings, plumbing fixtures, and contents. If safe, capture where the water appeared to originate.
Document the repair path
Water damage repairs often move from mitigation to packout to reconstruction. Keep photos and notes organized by date so the scope is easier to understand later.
