Record affected entrances, occupied areas and equipment from a safe location. A coordinated assessment can separate immediate access issues from drainage repairs and longer-term maintenance priorities.
Three things to check
- Which buildings, entrances or operating areas are affected?
- What records and existing drainage drawings are available?
- What access hours and tenant coordination are needed?
Prepare for an assessment
Record the affected locations, the timing of incidents and the weather. Gather information about existing systems. Take photos only from safe areas and mention previous repairs.
General guidance cannot replace an assessment of your property. Options depend on access, local requirements and the existing system.
