What Rain Intrusion Water Cleanup Includes in Charleston
Water category matters during rain intrusion water cleanup in Charleston. Clean supply water, gray appliance discharge and sewage affect cleaning and material decisions.
Wind driven rain crosses a failed window, door, siding, or wall detail. Water may run inside a wall and emerge at baseboards long after the storm. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because drywall, sheathing, flooring edges, and trim hold hidden moisture.
Cleanup starts after the source is controlled. A local water crew pumps, tests material moisture and places drying equipment, while the appropriate trade corrects the cause.
