How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Lee
-
Establish safe access
Rising water changes conditions during a job. The crew verifies that the site is stable enough for work.
-
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
Outside floodwater is Category 3. The crew identifies porous finishes that cannot be cleaned for safe reuse.

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

- 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.
