How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Ghent
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
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.
-
Open what holds water
Baseboards come off so wall bottoms can breathe. Small cuts in drywall let air reach wet insulation and studs.
-
Dry and verify
The crew watches temperature and humidity along with moisture content. Those numbers show whether drying is on track.
