Wind can push rain sideways through a damaged opening, wetting insulation and wall cavities before water appears on the floor. A ceiling stain may spread after the storm because trapped water continues moving through the assembly.

The crew clears contaminated water and sediment from the building. A rebuilding contractor later quotes replacement drywall, paint and flooring after drying.

How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Works in Wilmerding
