How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Works in Ely

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A crew identifies the floodwater path, sediment and wet rooms to shape the first work plan.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The crew works from safe access toward wet rooms, taking bulk water out before drying.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The crew adjusts equipment when humidity stays high or a cavity reading stops improving.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A flooded basement often retains humidity after standing water leaves. Mold may appear on wet materials as early as 24 to 48 hours.

• 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.
