How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Georgetown

1. Establish safe access

   A basement stairway may be slippery or blocked. Workers assess access before carrying extraction tools down.

2. Remove the standing water

   When inflow continues, the crew accounts for new water while planning safe removal.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Cleaning follows removal of saturated debris. Technicians treat exposed surfaces appropriate to the contamination.

4. Dry and verify

   Moisture mapping shows whether adjoining rooms still hold water. Technicians update the drying plan accordingly.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wet wall insulation slows drying inside a cavity. The technician assesses removal so framing can be cleaned and monitored.

• Stay out of standing water near outlets, wiring or appliances.
• Follow local reentry instructions if the neighborhood has flooded.
• Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
• Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.
• Call (888) 450-9281 so extraction can begin when access is safe.
