What Rain Intrusion Flood Water Removal Includes in Fort Lauderdale

A loss involving wind-driven rain entering through an opening may reach window trim, door thresholds, sheathing and wall insulation. Common calls involve window leak during rain, door leak water damage, and siding leak water damage. The visible wet spot rarely shows the full path.
A failed sump pump may keep a basement wet until drainage is restored. The crew removes the water and checks finished walls for hidden saturation.
