What Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Dorset

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.

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