How Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Iliff
Painting or closing a wall over damp materials traps the moisture. Growth can begin in a sealed cavity long before anyone smells it. Dry readings come first, finishes second.
-
Pump out the standing water
The extraction crew starts with the floor. A truck-mounted unit or a portable pump pulls the standing tank water before it settles into materials.
-
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
Category 2 and 3 water change the rules. Porous materials those waters touched get removed instead of dried.
-
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.
