What Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Otoe

The crew checks entry conditions and water depth for wind driven rain water damage cleanup. At a Otoe home, contaminated porous materials may need removal before drying.

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.

For Otoe storm damage, the technician maps moisture in walls and floors. A separate structural professional evaluates any suspected foundation or load-bearing damage.
