How Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Blanket

Carpet pad and drywall paper soak up water and release it slowly. Leaving them wet gives hidden growth the time it needs. The crew removes what cannot dry and dries what can.

1. Pump out the standing water

   Water that sits under a heater drains into low spots, door tracks and carpet edges. The crew chases it into each one with a wand and a pump.

2. Map where the water went

   Insulation inside an attic platform or a closet wall can hold a lot of water that no one sees. A meter or a small inspection cut tells the crew which.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Category 2 and 3 water change the rules. Porous materials those waters touched get removed instead of dried.

4. 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.
