What Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Gunpowder

Wind can push rain sideways through a damaged opening, wetting insulation and wall cavities before water appears on the floor. A ceiling stain may spread after the storm because trapped water continues moving through the assembly.
A basement full of runoff needs pumping and moisture assessment. The restoration team does that work; it does not alter municipal storm infrastructure.
