How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Brooks

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.

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

   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

   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.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers push dry air across wet surfaces, and LGR dehumidifiers pull vapor out of the room. The setup is sized to the wet area.
