How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Works in Big Cove Tannery

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The assessor marks water levels and affected finishes while documenting Category 3 contact.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Standing stormwater leaves the building through pumping matched to depth and debris.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The crew opens affected wall bases when contaminated materials cannot be restored in place.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

The crew records moisture in remaining wall framing. An untreated wet surface can support mold growth within a 24 to 48 hour period.

• Keep away from sagging ceilings and wet light fixtures.
• Leave an unsafe roof or exterior opening to the appropriate trade.
• Move belongings only if the route is dry and safe.
• Photograph stains and drips without entering damaged areas.
• Call 24/7 and identify the suspected rain entry point.
