How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Glencoe
-
Establish safe access
The first inspection marks the source and depth of the pool. Those observations shape the removal plan.
-
Remove the standing water
Deep pools are lowered with pumping equipment. Extraction tools then address remaining liquid near floor edges.

Address contaminated materials
Affected insulation may be discarded so the cavity can dry. The contractor records what was removed.
-
Dry and verify
Equipment may move as materials release water at different rates. Final measurements support the dry-out record.
