How Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Hagan

Painting or closing a wall over damp materials traps the moisture. Growth can begin in a sealed cavity long before anyone smells it. Dry readings come first, finishes second.

1. Pump out the standing water

   Carpet and pad hold more water than their surface shows. The crew runs an extraction tool over wet carpet, then lifts the pad when it cannot be saved.

2. Map where the water went

   Baseline readings come from a dry spot in the same house. Every wet reading gets compared against that baseline.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Wet insulation holds water and loses its value. It comes out and gets replaced after the structure is dry.

4. 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.
