How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Thornton
-
Establish safe access

-
Remove the standing water
Deep pools are lowered with pumping equipment. Extraction tools then address remaining liquid near floor edges.

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

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

Who stops wind-driven rain entering the roof?
A roofer or appropriate exterior trade closes and repairs the opening. The water damage crew extracts indoor water and dries affected materials. Keep clear of wet fixtures and wiring.
