How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Lepanto
-
Establish safe access
The technician identifies submerged electrical equipment before entering the Lepanto room. Occupants remain outside the water path.
-
Remove the standing water
The contractor follows water into nearby rooms. A dry doorway does not prove the next floor layer stayed dry.
-
Address contaminated materials
Wet carpet and padding may trap contaminated silt. Removal exposes the floor beneath for cleaning.
-
Dry and verify
The contractor documents the drying endpoint before rebuilding begins. The insurer can review the mitigation record.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Category 3 water carries contamination into porous finishes. Removing affected material helps expose the remaining structure for cleaning and drying.
- 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.
- Call (888) 450-9281 so extraction can begin when access is safe.
