  • Do you handle this type of water damage and the areas affected?
  • What work are you proposing, and what is not included?

  • What should I have ready or move out of the affected area before the work begins?

Compare the proposed scope

Check that the company has addressed the affected areas you described and clearly separated included work from anything extra. If a proposal is unclear, ask for clarification before you agree.
