How Closet Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Saint Anthony
-
Pump out the standing water
Hot tank water means a technician checks the power and gas first. Once the area is safe, the pumping begins at the deepest point.
-
Map where the water went
A thermal camera shows cool, wet patches on floors and walls that look dry. A moisture meter then confirms which patches hold water.
-
Remove what cannot dry
Wet insulation holds water and loses its value. It comes out and gets replaced after the structure is dry.
-
Dry the structure and verify
The technician returns each day to read the same spots. The equipment stays until the readings sit within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference material.
