How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Works in Waterman

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   Before extraction, workers determine which access points remain stable and dry.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The contractor records the water removed and checks whether entry continues during the job.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The contractor explains each proposed removal with photographs and material findings.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The crew adjusts equipment when humidity stays high or a cavity reading stops improving.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous materials need attention after outside flooding. When left wet, they can support mold before two days have passed.

• Keep away from sagging ceilings and wet light fixtures.
• Leave an unsafe roof or exterior opening to the appropriate trade.
• Move belongings only if the route is dry and safe.
• Photograph stains and drips without entering damaged areas.
• Call 24/7 and identify the suspected rain entry point.
