Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup in Greendale, WI

What Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Greendale

For wind driven rain water damage cleanup, the first priorities are safe access and standing water removal. The contractor then evaluates affected layers in Greendale.

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.

Floodwater removal and source work can proceed as separate jobs. The crew documents damaged materials in Greendale; the appropriate trade corrects the entry defect.

• Photograph stains and drips without entering damaged areas.
