How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Montague

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

1. Extract the standing water

   Extraction starts once the supply is off and the room is safe to enter. Every gallon pulled out early is less water for the walls to absorb.

2. Map the moisture

   If the heater sits in an attic, the scan includes the ceiling and walls below. Water often travels farther down than it looks from above.

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

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