How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Macdoel

Wet drywall, pad and wood framing give mold what it needs. The crew pulls the materials that cannot dry and dries the rest before that window closes.

1. Extract the standing water

   The crew handles recovered water according to what it holds. Clean tank water goes to a proper drain, and anything contaminated is handled differently.

2. 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.

3. Open what holds water

   Baseboards come off so wall bottoms can breathe. Small cuts in drywall let air reach wet insulation and studs.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians return to take moisture readings and adjust equipment. Drying ends when the materials reach the dry reference.
