        "text": "Before your contractor arrives, take comprehensive photographs and videos of every damaged room, focusing on pooled water, cracked plaster, sagging ceilings, and ruined personal property. Avoid throwing away water-damaged trim, cabinets, or flooring samples until your insurance adjuster has completed their inspection or given written permission. Create an itemized inventory of affected household items. Having your insurance claim number and policy details ready allows your contractor to provide an estimate that aligns with standard adjuster line items for framing, drywall, and finish carpentry.",
