How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Glencoe
-
Establish safe access
Category 3 runoff calls for protective handling. Technicians evaluate contamination before disturbing wet finishes.
-
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
A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.
-
Dry and verify
Equipment may move as materials release water at different rates. Final measurements support the dry-out record.
