How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Puxico
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
Extraction starts once the supply is off and the room is safe to enter. Every gallon pulled out early is less water for the walls to absorb.
-
Map the moisture
Pin and pinless meters check different depths. The crew uses both on flooring, framing and drywall, then sketches the results.
-
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
Technicians return to take moisture readings and adjust equipment. Drying ends when the materials reach the dry reference.
