How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in New Creek

A musty smell a few days after a flood means moisture stayed somewhere. Moisture mapping finds those spots in a New Creek home before they grow into a bigger problem.

1. 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.

2. Map the moisture

   A moisture meter and a thermal camera show where water spread beyond the puddle. The technician marks wet walls and floors and records the readings.

3. Open what holds water

   Hardwood and laminate may need drying mats or the removal of a few boards, depending on how deep the water went.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying in New Creek usually takes several days, and thicker materials take longer. The readings, not a calendar, decide when it is done.
