How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Harveys Lake
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.
-
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
The map becomes the drying plan and the baseline for every daily reading. It also goes into the claim records.
-
Open what holds water
The crew bags and removes wet debris so it does not feed humidity back into the room.
-
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.
