How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Macomb
-
Establish safe access
A basement stairway may be slippery or blocked. Workers assess access before carrying extraction tools down.
-
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
Flood-soaked wallboard can hold water against framing. Openings allow assessment and treatment of the concealed area.
-
Dry and verify
Moisture mapping shows whether adjoining rooms still hold water. Technicians update the drying plan accordingly.

- Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
- Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.
