How Window Well Flooding Water Cleanup Works in Vulcan

1. Remove standing water

   Portable units reach upper rooms where truck mounted equipment cannot be placed close to the loss.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Laminate that has swollen at the seams often cannot be dried back to its former shape.

4. Dry and verify

   A clear drying log helps explain when the structure was ready for rebuild work.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A clean looking surface can conceal moist wood underneath. The crew uses meters to find those areas and keeps air moving until readings reach the drying target.

• Clear exterior drainage only when it is safe.
• Stay away from a window under outside water pressure.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
