How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Santa Elena
Mold removal is not part of the crew's work. The job is to remove the water and dry the structure quickly enough that mold never gets started.
-
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
Baseboards come off so wall bottoms can breathe. Small cuts in drywall let air reach wet insulation and studs.
-
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.
