A call about flooding should mention whether the source continues. Water removal can start when entry is safe, while another trade addresses the cause.

How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Works in Lakeview

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A walkthrough tracks where outside water reached flooring, walls and lower cavities.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

   The team separates salvageable hard materials from porous items that hold contamination.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.
