How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Walker
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
Readings get compared with a dry reference in an unaffected room. That comparison decides which materials are wet and which are fine.
-
Open what holds water
Wet cabinet kicks and trim may need to come off so the cavity behind them can dry. The crew opens only what the readings call for.
-
Dry and verify
Final readings and the equipment log go into the job file, and the homeowner gets copies for the claim.
