How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Fay

Mold can grow behind baseboards and inside wall cavities where no one can see it. That is why the crew trusts a moisture meter and a thermal camera over the surface.

1. Extract the standing water

   The operator checks depth, sets the intake and runs hoses to a proper discharge point. The goal is to get the bulk of the tank water out of the building first.

2. Map the moisture

   Tank water wicks up drywall and runs under baseboards. The scan follows those paths in the heater room and in the rooms next to it.

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

   Final readings and the equipment log go into the job file, and the homeowner gets copies for the claim.
