How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Chico
-
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

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

Dry and verify
A wet cavity can lag behind an open floor. Verification checks both instead of relying on appearance.
