Warm tank water and a closed closet make a damp pocket that stays wet. Drywall and insulation in that pocket can hold moisture for days. Fast extraction and dehumidification shorten the time any material stays wet.
-
Pump out the standing water
In a Orla garage or basement, a drain or sump may carry some of the water away. The crew still extracts what the slab keeps.
-
Map where the water went
Water follows framing, pipes and wiring chases. The crew checks the rooms beside and beneath the heater, not just the one with the puddle.
-
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
Readings that stall point to a hidden wet layer. The crew checks again, adds access or moves the equipment.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Each change of season is a reminder to look at the heater. A quick check of the base and the connections in spring and fall catches many weeps.

Pumps or extractors, a thermal camera, moisture meters, air movers and LGR dehumidifiers. Heavier jobs add more of each.
