What Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Alto
The building’s materials determine what stays after Category 3 contact. In Alto, the restoration crew cleans salvageable hard surfaces during wind driven rain water damage cleanup.
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.
Floodwater removal and source work can proceed as separate jobs. The crew documents damaged materials in Alto; the appropriate trade corrects the entry defect.
