How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Richards

1. Establish safe access

   The technician identifies submerged electrical equipment before entering the Richards room. Occupants remain outside the water path.

2. Remove the standing water

   A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment may move as materials release water at different rates. Final measurements support the dry-out record.
