How Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Mullica Hill
An attic heater that leaks wets insulation and ceiling drywall from above. Those layers sit in the dark with little airflow, a slow-drying setup. That is why the crew opens the ceiling when the readings call for it.
-
Pump out the standing water
In a Mullica Hill garage or basement, a drain or sump may carry some of the water away. The crew still extracts what the slab keeps.
-
Map where the water went
A thermal camera shows cool, wet patches on floors and walls that look dry. A moisture meter then confirms which patches hold water.
-
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
Once the readings pass, the crew removes the equipment and hands over the drying log. Rebuild work is quoted after drying.
