What Rain Intrusion Water Cleanup Includes in Granger

Wind driven rain crosses a failed window, door, siding, or wall detail. Water may run inside a wall and emerge at baseboards long after the storm. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because drywall, sheathing, flooring edges, and trim hold hidden moisture.
If a supply valve is safe to reach, closing it limits fresh water. The plumber handles the faulty fitting and the cleanup crew handles extraction and structural drying.
