How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Moody

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, according to the EPA. A heater flood soaks drywall and pad fast, so the clock starts the moment the tank fails.

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

   A moisture meter and a thermal camera show where water spread beyond the puddle. The technician marks wet walls and floors and records the readings.

3. Open what holds water

   Baseboards come off so wall bottoms can breathe. Small cuts in drywall let air reach wet insulation and studs.

4. Dry and verify

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