How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Saint Hilaire
A musty smell a few days after a flood means moisture stayed somewhere. Moisture mapping finds those spots in a Saint Hilaire home before they grow into a bigger problem.
-
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
The map becomes the drying plan and the baseline for every daily reading. It also goes into the claim records.
-
Open what holds water
Opening a wall sounds drastic, but a wet cavity that stays closed holds water for days. The crew makes the smallest opening that does the job.
-
Dry and verify
Final readings and the equipment log go into the job file, and the homeowner gets copies for the claim.
