How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Devils Elbow
A musty smell a few days after a flood means moisture stayed somewhere. Moisture mapping finds those spots in a Devils Elbow home before they grow into a bigger problem.
-
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.
-
Map the moisture
Pin and pinless meters check different depths. The crew uses both on flooring, framing and drywall, then sketches the results.
-
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.
-
Dry and verify
Drying in Devils Elbow usually takes several days, and thicker materials take longer. The readings, not a calendar, decide when it is done.
