After Water Denver

Private incident record builder

Build a plain-text water damage incident record

Record event dates, safe ground-level observations, a records and photo checklist, contractor questions, and proposed work with exclusions. Nothing you type is uploaded, stored or sent anywhere: the record is assembled in this browser and exported as a plain text file only when you press download.

This page is a documentation aid. It does not dispatch crews, act as an insurer or adjuster, diagnose mold, promise drying outcomes or set any deadline. For safety and permit questions, follow the guidance of the EPA, FEMA and City and County of Denver materials described in the guide.

Incident record fields

Your details
Event dates

Enter dates as YYYY-MM-DD. Use only what you actually know; leave a date blank if it is uncertain.

The day the water was first noticed or entered.

Optional. Leave blank if it is the same day or unknown.

A whole number from 0 to 8784, or blank. This is your own estimate for the record; the page sets no deadline and draws no drying conclusion from it.

Safe ground observations

Record only what you can see from a safe location outside the affected area or with the utilities already off. Do not enter a space you have been told is unsafe, do not move standing water by hand, and do not touch wiring or gas equipment.

Describe waterlines, discoloration, sagging or standing water as observed, not as a diagnosis. Maximum 1200 characters.

Only note what someone qualified has already done. This page does not instruct you to shut off or restore any utility.

Records and photo checklist (no uploads)

Tick what you have already done privately on your own devices. No images or files are uploaded, read or attached by this page.

Contractor questions

List the questions you want answered before any cleaning, remediation or maintenance agreement is signed. One per line, up to 15 lines.

For example, ask who will determine that cleanup is complete, and how the scope will be recorded in writing.

Proposed work and exclusions

Write what was proposed in plain words. Do not treat this field as an approval.

Record anything the scope says it does not include, in the words used.

For example the date and channel a written scope arrived. Do not include account numbers.

A waterline record is a horizontal note, not a diagnosis

Room section diagram showing a waterline record A simple side section of a room with a floor, two walls and a ceiling. A dashed horizontal line across the wall marks where a visible waterline was observed. A small callout shows how to note the height and the room name in the written record. Visible waterline: note room, wall and how you measured height from a safe position Floor level Ceiling Observed from outside the affected area; no re-entry required to record it.
Diagram drawn for this publication. It illustrates how a waterline can be noted in a written record and does not show or imply damage extent, cause or any remediation outcome.

How this builder behaves

  • Every field starts disabled and unlocks only after the builder has finished setting up in your browser.
  • Nothing you type leaves this page: no uploads, no cookies, no storage and no network requests for your inputs.
  • The download button stays disabled until a record has been assembled, and any edit after that disables it again so the file always matches the assembled text.
  • Reset clears the output and returns every field to its default, including the record settings.
  • Safety reminders, when included, restate only EPA and FEMA guidance referenced on this site and are not a determination about your home.
