What Rain Intrusion Water Cleanup Includes in Saint Stephen
A Saint Stephen crew uses meters during rain intrusion water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
Wind driven rain crosses a failed window, door, siding, or wall detail. Water may run inside a wall and emerge at baseboards long after the storm. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because drywall, sheathing, flooring edges, and trim hold hidden moisture.
When rain enters through a roof, a roofer addresses the opening. The drying team deals with soaked ceilings, insulation and rooms below.
