How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Archie
-
Establish safe access
Floodwater can conceal debris beneath its surface. The crew checks entry and equipment routes before pumping.
-
Remove the standing water
When inflow continues, the crew accounts for new water while planning safe removal.
-
Address contaminated materials
Outside floodwater is Category 3. The crew identifies porous finishes that cannot be cleaned for safe reuse.
-
Dry and verify
The crew monitors wet framing and subfloors over time. Visible dryness alone does not end the job.

- Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.
