How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Paynes Creek

Carpet pad holds water like a sponge and often cannot be saved. Pulling it early is one of the best ways to keep mold from starting.

1. Extract the standing water

   Extraction starts once the supply is off and the room is safe to enter. Every gallon pulled out early is less water for the walls to absorb.

2. 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.

3. Open what holds water

   Baseboards come off so wall bottoms can breathe. Small cuts in drywall let air reach wet insulation and studs.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians return to take moisture readings and adjust equipment. Drying ends when the materials reach the dry reference.
