How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Oakland
-
Establish safe access
The first inspection marks the source and depth of the pool. Those observations shape the removal plan.
-
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
Wet carpet and padding may trap contaminated silt. Removal exposes the floor beneath for cleaning.
-
Dry and verify
A wet cavity can lag behind an open floor. Verification checks both instead of relying on appearance.
