How Window Well Flood Cleanup Works in Gresham

1. Remove standing water

3. Remove soaked material

   Damaged drywall sections can be taken out to expose wet framing. The opening is documented for later rebuilding.

4. Dry and verify

   Final checks document the remaining structure after extraction. Records can explain the work to an insurer.
