How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Cresco

Wet drywall, pad and wood framing give mold what it needs. The crew pulls the materials that cannot dry and dries the rest before that window closes.

1. Extract the standing water

   A pump or truck-mounted unit pulls the deep water first. Wands then lift what is left from carpet, pad and low spots.

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

   Wet cabinet kicks and trim may need to come off so the cavity behind them can dry. The crew opens only what the readings call for.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew watches temperature and humidity along with moisture content. Those numbers show whether drying is on track.
