How Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Raritan
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
Hot tank water means a technician checks the power and gas first. Once the area is safe, the pumping begins at the deepest point.
-
Map where the water went
A condo adds neighbors to the map. The technician checks shared walls and the unit below, and the property manager hears which areas read wet.
-
Remove what cannot dry
Laminate and engineered wood can cup and separate. The crew pulls what has swelled past saving and dries the subfloor under it.
-
Dry the structure and verify
Drying logs record the temperature, humidity and moisture readings for each visit. An adjuster can follow the job from the first photo to the last reading.
