# Accessibility We build to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Accessibility matters more than usual here: a large share of our readers arrive on a phone, under stress, sometimes with the power off in part of the house. ## What we test on every build Colour contrast is validated programmatically against every text and background pair the design renders, in both themes, and the build fails on any violation. Emergency blocks are held to a higher bar than AA requires. We check that every page has exactly one H1 and no heading-level skips, that every image carries alternative text and explicit dimensions, and that no state is conveyed by colour alone — the water category and safety verdict badges always carry an icon and a text label. - Emergency warnings are announced before other content and are reachable first in the tab order. - The First 60 Minutes checklist renders from CSS alone and works with JavaScript disabled. - Every interactive target is at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels. - Focus indicators are never removed, and focus targets clear the sticky header. - Reduced motion, reduced transparency and increased contrast preferences are all honoured. ## Known gaps Charts are rendered with a third-party library. Every chart ships an equivalent data table in the page, which is the accessible path, but the canvas itself is not independently navigable. Our search uses a client-side index. With JavaScript disabled, search is unavailable — every page remains reachable through the navigation, the section hubs and the HTML sitemap. If you hit a barrier anywhere on this site, write to editors@waterdamagepapa.shop and tell us the page and what happened. We treat accessibility reports as bugs, not as feedback. ## All topics [Emergency](https://waterdamagepapa.shop/emergency/)[Insurance](https://waterdamagepapa.shop/insurance/)[Water categories](https://waterdamagepapa.shop/categories/)[Causes](https://waterdamagepapa.shop/causes/)[Drying](https://waterdamagepapa.shop/drying/)[Mold](https://waterdamagepapa.shop/mold/)[Costs](https://waterdamagepapa.shop/costs/)[Glossary](https://waterdamagepapa.shop/glossary/) By The Water Damage Papa editorial team Last reviewed: 2026-08-17
