        "text": "Before scheduling finish work, take clear photographs and videos of all water marks, damaged baseboards, stained ceilings, and peeled paint for your insurance record. Next, ensure the initial water source—such as a roof leak or broken window—has been completely sealed to stop further damage. Having a contractor inspect the framing and drywall helps document the full scope of interior damage. Keeping detailed records of all repair estimates, moisture readings, and structural repairs ensures you have complete paperwork when working with your insurance adjuster.",
