What Rain Intrusion Flood Cleanup Includes in Dodson
Photographs and moisture readings record how far rain intrusion flood cleanup spread. Those records may help explain the loss to an insurer. An insurer decides coverage using the terms of the policy.
With rain intrusion, water can travel behind trim and siding into a wall before a room shows a puddle. Moisture may remain in wall insulation, trim, carpet and subfloor.
Stopping the source prevents more water from entering. The cleanup crew still needs to check how far the earlier flow traveled. Lower rooms may reveal a path from the original leak.
