How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Hickory

1. Establish safe access

   Rising water changes conditions during a job. The crew verifies that the site is stable enough for work.

2. Remove the standing water

   The contractor follows water into nearby rooms. A dry doorway does not prove the next floor layer stayed dry.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Flood-soaked wallboard can hold water against framing. Openings allow assessment and treatment of the concealed area.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Readings shape equipment placement.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A clean-looking surface can hide damp backing after runoff. Technicians check the assembly before they decide how to dry it.

• 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.
• Call (888) 450-9281 so extraction can begin when access is safe.
