How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Gales Ferry
Wet drywall, pad and wood framing give mold what it needs. The crew pulls the materials that cannot dry and dries the rest before that window closes.
-
Extract the standing water
The crew handles recovered water according to what it holds. Clean tank water goes to a proper drain, and anything contaminated is handled differently.
-
Map the moisture
A moisture meter and a thermal camera show where water spread beyond the puddle. The technician marks wet walls and floors and records the readings.
-
Open what holds water
Opening a wall sounds drastic, but a wet cavity that stays closed holds water for days. The crew makes the smallest opening that does the job.
-
Dry and verify
Technicians return to take moisture readings and adjust equipment. Drying ends when the materials reach the dry reference.
