How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Rockwall
-
Establish safe access
Category 3 runoff calls for protective handling. Technicians evaluate contamination before disturbing wet finishes.

- Stay out of standing water near outlets, wiring or appliances.
- Follow local reentry instructions if the neighborhood has flooded.
- Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
- Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.
