How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Urbandale
People with asthma, allergies or weak immune systems should stay out of a room that has been wet for days. Call the crew, and leave the soaked materials to the crew.
-
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
Baseboards come off so wall bottoms can breathe. Small cuts in drywall let air reach wet insulation and studs.
-
Dry and verify
Drying in Urbandale usually takes several days, and thicker materials take longer. The readings, not a calendar, decide when it is done.
