How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Cowen

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, according to the EPA. A heater flood soaks drywall and pad fast, so the clock starts the moment the tank fails.

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

   Readings get compared with a dry reference in an unaffected room. That comparison decides which materials are wet and which are fine.

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

   Air movers push dry air across wet surfaces, and LGR dehumidifiers pull vapor out of the room. The setup is sized to the wet area.
