How Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Hillsdale
A slow leak can keep a subfloor wet for weeks. By the time a stain appears, the wet period runs far longer than two days. The crew measures how deep the moisture goes before deciding how much comes out.
-
Pump out the standing water
Carpet and pad hold more water than their surface shows. The crew runs an extraction tool over wet carpet, then lifts the pad when it cannot be saved.
-
Map where the water went
Baseline readings come from a dry spot in the same house. Every wet reading gets compared against that baseline.
-
Remove what cannot dry
The crew cuts a narrow strip of drywall above the floor when the wall bottom holds water. A small opening dries the cavity faster than waiting.
-
Dry the structure and verify
Air movers sweep the wet surfaces and LGR dehumidifiers pull the moisture out of the air. Together they dry the structure, not only the surface.
