How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Columbia
Wet drywall, pad and wood framing give mold what it needs. The crew pulls the materials that cannot dry and dries the rest before that window closes.
-
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
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.
-
Open what holds water
The crew bags and removes wet debris so it does not feed humidity back into the room.
-
Dry and verify
Drying in Columbia usually takes several days, and thicker materials take longer. The readings, not a calendar, decide when it is done.
