Documenting Basement Moisture: What to Record Before Contacting Floodman

Documenting your basement before contacting Floodman can help streamline the assessment process. Start by noting the location and extent of any visible moisture, such as damp walls, pooling water, or staining. Take clear photographs from multiple angles, including close-ups of problem areas and wider shots that show the overall condition of the space. Record any patterns you observe, such as whether water appears after heavy rain or during seasonal changes. If you have noticed structural changes like cracks in the foundation or shifting walls, include those details as well. Keep a brief log of when you first noticed the issue and any steps you have already taken to manage it. This information will allow Floodman to better understand your situation when you call their office at 231-935-4921 or visit their website at https://floodman.com. By providing a clear picture of the problem upfront, you can help ensure a more efficient evaluation and discussion of potential solutions for your Northern Michigan home.
