How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Scammon

1. Establish safe access

   The technician identifies submerged electrical equipment before entering the Scammon room. Occupants remain outside the water path.

2. Remove the standing water

   Surface extraction helps limit further absorption. The team checks seams and coverings that retained water.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Flood-soaked wallboard can hold water against framing. Openings allow assessment and treatment of the concealed area.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Readings shape equipment placement.

• Stay out of standing water near outlets, wiring or appliances.
• Follow local reentry instructions if the neighborhood has flooded.
• Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
• Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.
