How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Leakey

Warm, damp rooms are where mold takes hold. Tank water leaves both, and the closet or garage around a heater often has little airflow to carry it off.

1. Extract the standing water

   A pump or truck-mounted unit pulls the deep water first. Wands then lift what is left from carpet, pad and low spots.

2. Map the moisture

   Pin and pinless meters check different depths. The crew uses both on flooring, framing and drywall, then sketches the results.

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

   Drying in Leakey usually takes several days, and thicker materials take longer. The readings, not a calendar, decide when it is done.
