What Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Clarence

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.

When runoff enters the house, an extraction team pumps out standing water. A drainage professional addresses a failed exterior drain while the mitigation contractor treats interior contamination.
