How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Works in Wilkeson

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A walkthrough tracks where outside water reached flooring, walls and lower cavities.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The crew works from safe access toward wet rooms, taking bulk water out before drying.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The crew opens affected wall bases when contaminated materials cannot be restored in place.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.

• 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.
