What Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Roodhouse
A surface can look better while water remains beneath it. The Roodhouse 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.
Floodwater removal and source work can proceed as separate jobs. The crew documents damaged materials in Roodhouse; the appropriate trade corrects the entry defect.
