How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Hernando
-
Establish safe access
Rising water changes conditions during a job. The crew verifies that the site is stable enough for work.

Dry and verify
Equipment may move as materials release water at different rates. Final measurements support the dry-out record.
