How Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Decatur
A slow leak can keep a subfloor wet for weeks. By the time a stain appears, the wet period runs far longer than two days. The crew measures how deep the moisture goes before deciding how much comes out.
-
Pump out the standing water
The extraction crew starts with the floor. A truck-mounted unit or a portable pump pulls the standing tank water before it settles into materials.
-
Map where the water went
A condo adds neighbors to the map. The technician checks shared walls and the unit below, and the property manager hears which areas read wet.
-
Remove what cannot dry
Wet ceiling drywall below an attic heater can sag with trapped water. The crew drains it by cutting from a safe position before it falls.
-
Dry the structure and verify
Drying logs record the temperature, humidity and moisture readings for each visit. An adjuster can follow the job from the first photo to the last reading.
