How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Kent
People with asthma, allergies or weak immune systems should stay out of a room that has been wet for days. Call the crew, and leave the soaked materials to the crew.
-
Extract the standing water
Hoses and cords stay out of the wet zone and away from the heater, so the pump-out stays safe for everyone in the room.
-
Map the moisture
Tank water wicks up drywall and runs under baseboards. The scan follows those paths in the heater room and in the rooms next to it.
-
Open what holds water
Opening a wall sounds drastic, but a wet cavity that stays closed holds water for days. The crew makes the smallest opening that does the job.
-
Dry and verify
Technicians return to take moisture readings and adjust equipment. Drying ends when the materials reach the dry reference.

Water that escapes during a freeze can turn to ice on floors and steps. Stay off slick surfaces and call the crew. In mixed housing, a heater flood can start in one unit and soak another. Tell the landlord or manager and the neighbor below.
