How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Townsend
-
Establish safe access
Floodwater can conceal debris beneath its surface. The crew checks entry and equipment routes before pumping.
-
Remove the standing water
A pump intake needs sufficient depth to work effectively. The crew switches methods as the water level falls.
-
Address contaminated materials
A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.
-
Dry and verify
A wet cavity can lag behind an open floor. Verification checks both instead of relying on appearance.
