How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Blakeslee
People with asthma, allergies or weak immune systems should stay out of a room that has been wet for days. Call the crew, and leave the soaked materials to the crew.
-
Extract the standing water
On a hard floor, the crew pushes and vacuums water toward a low spot. On carpet, it makes slow, overlapping passes with a weighted wand.
-
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
Hardwood and laminate may need drying mats or the removal of a few boards, depending on how deep the water went.
-
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.
