How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Millers Creek

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, according to the EPA. A heater flood soaks drywall and pad fast, so the clock starts the moment the tank fails.

1. Extract the standing water

   On a hard floor, the crew pushes and vacuums water toward a low spot. On carpet, it makes slow, overlapping passes with a weighted wand.

2. 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.

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

   Drying in Millers Creek usually takes several days, and thicker materials take longer. The readings, not a calendar, decide when it is done.
