What Rain Intrusion Water Cleanup Includes in Stella

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.
