How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Wharton

People with asthma, allergies or weak immune systems should stay out of a room that has been wet for days. Call the crew, and leave the soaked materials to the crew.

1. 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.

2. Map the moisture

   Pin and pinless meters check different depths. The crew uses both on flooring, framing and drywall, then sketches the results.

3. 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.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying in Wharton usually takes several days, and thicker materials take longer. The readings, not a calendar, decide when it is done.
