What Rain Intrusion Water Mitigation Includes in Ozan
In Ozan, AR, every job starts the same way: find the source, check for hazards, photograph the damage. What happens next depends on the readings.
Windows, doors and siding are sealed with caulk, flashing and weatherstripping that wear out. In a storm, wind pushes rain through the gaps and into the wall cavity or onto the floor.
A roofer handles the shingles or the tarp. Someone else still has to deal with the wet attic insulation, the stained ceiling and the water that ran down the wall, and that work belongs to the mitigation team.

How Rain Intrusion Water Mitigation Works in Ozan
-
Pump out the standing water
On hard floors a squeegee and a wet vac finish what the pump cannot reach. On carpet, a weighted extractor presses water out of the fibers and the pad.
-
Map the moisture
A thermal camera shows cool, wet areas as color differences on a wall. It does not measure moisture, so the crew confirms each suspect spot with a meter before marking it.
-
Cut out what will not dry
Not everything is torn out. Hardwood, plaster and solid wood furniture can often be dried in place, so the crew checks readings before anyone picks up a saw.
-
Dry and verify
Equipment runs until the readings match a dry reference. The crew visits each day, adjusts the fans, moves units and pulls out any machine an area no longer needs.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Insulation and framing inside a wall can stay wet for days while the paint looks normal. The technician probes the cavity with a pin meter and a thermal camera, and opens a small section if the readings stay high.
- Set towels or a barrier to stop water reaching the floor.
- Move furniture and electronics away from the wet wall.
- Switch off power to wet outlets from a dry spot.
- Ask a contractor to cover the opening if rain continues.
- Photograph the entry point, wet walls and flooring.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim
A condo loss is split between the unit owner's policy and the association's master policy, in the way the bylaws direct. Walls, fixtures and finishes can land on either side, so the crew sorts photos and readings room by room for each insurer.
- Hold on to wet carpet and drywall until the adjuster signs off
- Note the time you spotted the water and the time the flow stopped
- File the plumber's invoice together with the stated cause of the leak
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
