What Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Armstrong
A surface can look better while water remains beneath it. The Armstrong technician uses meters to define the actual wind driven rain water damage cleanup scope.
Wind can push rain sideways through a damaged opening, wetting insulation and wall cavities before water appears on the floor. A ceiling stain may spread after the storm because trapped water continues moving through the assembly.
For Armstrong storm damage, the technician maps moisture in walls and floors. A separate structural professional evaluates any suspected foundation or load-bearing damage.
