How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Johns Island
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
Hoses and cords stay out of the wet zone and away from the heater, so the pump-out stays safe for everyone in the room.
-
Map the moisture
If the heater sits in an attic, the scan includes the ceiling and walls below. Water often travels farther down than it looks from above.
-
Open what holds water
Soaked pad, insulation and drywall that cannot dry get cut out and bagged. Removing them early keeps the rest of the structure on track.
-
Dry and verify
Final readings and the equipment log go into the job file, and the homeowner gets copies for the claim.
