How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Kempton
-
Establish safe access
Floodwater can conceal debris beneath its surface. The crew checks entry and equipment routes before pumping.
-
Remove the standing water
Deep pools are lowered with pumping equipment. Extraction tools then address remaining liquid near floor edges.
-
Address contaminated materials
A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.
-
Dry and verify
Moisture mapping shows whether adjoining rooms still hold water. Technicians update the drying plan accordingly.
