What Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Includes in Thompson
Safe electrical access matters before wind driven rain water damage proceeds. The Thompson resident should report submerged fixtures without entering the water.
Wind can force rain through roof or wall openings and wet rooms far from the visible entry point. Water can move through a weather-damaged opening into ceilings and wall cavities. Call Storm Water Removal Pros at (888) 450-9281 for 24/7 emergency extraction and drying.
Water under a floor can remain after the exterior breach is closed. A drying crew maps that moisture rather than treating source correction as the end of cleanup.

- Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
- Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.
