How Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Du Pont
Hot water makes a tank leak urgent for safety reasons, and the damp clock makes it urgent for the building too. Call (888) 532-8921 and the crew starts pulling moisture out of the structure.
-
Pump out the standing water
Every gallon pulled out as liquid is a gallon the dehumidifiers never have to handle. That is why pumping comes before any drying equipment goes down.
-
Map where the water went
Baseline readings come from a dry spot in the same house. Every wet reading gets compared against that baseline.
-
Remove what cannot dry
Soaked carpet pad, swollen baseboards and crumbling drywall come out. Sound framing and solid flooring stay.
-
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.
