FAQ: Crawl Space Water Damage – Will You Take Photos of the Damage and Repair Process?

Yes. Always.

At Total Home Water Restoration, we document everything—from the moment we step into your crawl space to the last bit of cleanup.

Why We Take Photos:

  • Proof for Insurance
    Most insurance carriers require visual evidence. Photos of the damage and the repair work can speed up claims and reduce pushback.

  • Clear Record for You
    You should know exactly what was done under your home. That’s why we walk you through every step, with pictures to back it up.

  • Transparency Builds Trust
    Crawl spaces are out of sight—but we make sure they’re not out of mind. Documenting the work shows you we’re not just saying it's fixed. We're showing you.
