What Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Lehigh
A flood record can include photographs, wet material locations and drying logs. Call Flash Flood Cleanup Team about wind driven rain water damage cleanup at the Lehigh property.
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.
For Lehigh storm damage, the technician maps moisture in walls and floors. A separate structural professional evaluates any suspected foundation or load-bearing damage.
