How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Prompton
-
Establish safe access
Category 3 runoff calls for protective handling. Technicians evaluate contamination before disturbing wet finishes.
-
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
Outside floodwater is Category 3. The crew identifies porous finishes that cannot be cleaned for safe reuse.
-
Dry and verify
Equipment may move as materials release water at different rates. Final measurements support the dry-out record.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Water beneath a floating floor has limited evaporation paths. Opening the assembly may be necessary to address trapped moisture.
- Stay out of standing water near outlets, wiring or appliances.
- Follow local reentry instructions if the neighborhood has flooded.
- Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
- Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.
- Call (888) 450-9281 so extraction can begin when access is safe.
