How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Works in West Orange

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   Before extraction, workers determine which access points remain stable and dry.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The team separates salvageable hard materials from porous items that hold contamination.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Saturated cabinet backing may stay damp after a room looks clear. Mold growth is possible after 24 to 48 hours of wet conditions.

• 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.
