How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Whiting
-
Establish safe access
A basement stairway may be slippery or blocked. Workers assess access before carrying extraction tools down.
-
Remove the standing water
The contractor follows water into nearby rooms. A dry doorway does not prove the next floor layer stayed dry.
-
Address contaminated materials
Affected insulation may be discarded so the cavity can dry. The contractor records what was removed.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Readings shape equipment placement.
