How Wind Driven Rain Water Damage Works in Abingdon

Establish safe access

Address contaminated materials
A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.
-
Dry and verify
A wet cavity can lag behind an open floor. Verification checks both instead of relying on appearance.
