How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Cleanup Works in Sherman

1. Assess hazards and water depth

• Leave an unsafe roof or exterior opening to the appropriate trade.
• Move belongings only if the route is dry and safe.
• Photograph stains and drips without entering damaged areas.
• Call 24/7 and identify the suspected rain entry point.
