How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Works in Secaucus

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The assessor marks water levels and affected finishes while documenting Category 3 contact.

• Keep away from sagging ceilings and wet light fixtures.
• Leave an unsafe roof or exterior opening to the appropriate trade.
• Move belongings only if the route is dry and safe.
• Photograph stains and drips without entering damaged areas.
• Call 24/7 and identify the suspected rain entry point.
