How is basement restoration documented for insurance?
With photos of the water level and damage, moisture readings, a list of removed materials and daily drying logs.

Often several days or longer, since concrete and cool basement air dry slowly. Daily readings show progress.
What is involved in basement water damage restoration?
Pumping out water, removing soaked materials, cleaning contaminated areas, drying walls, framing and concrete, and dehumidifying until readings are normal.
