What needs assessment

List affected materials and distinguish replaceable copies from unique originals. Avoid peeling apart wet pages or applying heat without specialist advice. Business records may require attention to privacy, inventory, and chain of custody during transfer.

Three points to discuss

  • Unique versus replaceable items
  • Privacy and inventory
  • Specialist handling

Drying and material decisions

Ask whether a document recovery specialist is available and how items will be labeled and transported. Scanning, drying, or conservation are different services. Do not assume every document can be restored to its previous condition or that contents handling is included in a building estimate.

Property context

Planning the work in Fort Worth

For a Fort Worth property, explain the existing floor system and any older repairs before agreeing to material removal. The city includes both mapped floodplain information and additional stormwater studies, so an outside-entry history deserves a property-specific review. Material salvage itself depends on exposure, contamination, access, and the condition observed indoors.

Fort Worth makes drainage studies, flood studies, permits, and elevation certificates available through its Stormwater Download Viewer. The city also identifies City Flood Risk Areas. Check the exact address and current city information when the loss involves runoff; an indoor pipe or appliance failure still needs its own source and material assessment.
