How Window Well Flooding Water Damage Restoration Works in Bledsoe

1. Get the water out first

   Every gallon pulled out by machine is a gallon the dehumidifiers do not have to handle later. Time spent on extraction up front shortens the whole drying job.

2. Find the wet edges

   Before anything is cut or carried out, time-stamped photos record the damage. Notes on the source of the water, its category and the materials it reached go into the file for the claim.

3. Take out what cannot be saved

   Wall cavities need air. The crew cuts a clean opening along the lower part of a wet wall, usually above the height the water wicked, so the studs and the back of the board can dry.

4. Dry, test and sign off

   Dehumidifiers and air movers are placed according to the moisture map and the size of each room. Air movers sweep dry air across wet surfaces while the dehumidifiers pull vapor out of the air.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A room can look dry and still hold wet drywall behind fresh paint. Moisture meters catch what eyes miss, and readings taken in the first two days show whether drying is on pace to finish ahead of that window.

• Keep power off for outlets near the wet window.
• Move furniture and bedding away from the wet wall.
• Clear leaves and debris from the well if you can do it safely.
• Keep the window closed so water in the well stays out.
• Photograph the well, the window and the wet floor.
