How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Dearborn
A musty smell a few days after a flood means moisture stayed somewhere. Moisture mapping finds those spots in a Dearborn 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
The map becomes the drying plan and the baseline for every daily reading. It also goes into the claim records.
-
Open what holds water
The crew bags and removes wet debris so it does not feed humidity back into the room.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers push dry air across wet surfaces, and LGR dehumidifiers pull vapor out of the room. The setup is sized to the wet area.
