How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Gilford
Mold removal is not part of the crew's work. The job is to remove the water and dry the structure quickly enough that mold never gets started.
-
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
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.
-
Dry and verify
Technicians return to take moisture readings and adjust equipment. Drying ends when the materials reach the dry reference.
