How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Montello

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

1. Extract the standing water

   A pump or truck-mounted unit pulls the deep water first. Wands then lift what is left from carpet, pad and low spots.

2. Map the moisture

   Tank water wicks up drywall and runs under baseboards. The scan follows those paths in the heater room and in the rooms next to it.

3. Open what holds water

   Wet cabinet kicks and trim may need to come off so the cavity behind them can dry. The crew opens only what the readings call for.

4. Dry and verify

   Final readings and the equipment log go into the job file, and the homeowner gets copies for the claim.

After a rare freeze, a plumber should look over the heater connections. The crew deals with any water that has already escaped. A homeowners policy is the first place to look after a heater flood. Read it for water damage terms, the deductible and reporting rules.
