How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Richmond

Mold removal is not part of the crew's work. The job is to remove the water and dry the structure quickly enough that mold never gets started.

1. Extract the standing water

   The crew handles recovered water according to what it holds. Clean tank water goes to a proper drain, and anything contaminated is handled differently.

2. Map the moisture

   The map becomes the drying plan and the baseline for every daily reading. It also goes into the claim records.

3. Open what holds water

   The crew bags and removes wet debris so it does not feed humidity back into the room.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians return to take moisture readings and adjust equipment. Drying ends when the materials reach the dry reference.
