How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Ralph

Carpet pad holds water like a sponge and often cannot be saved. Pulling it early is one of the best ways to keep mold from starting.

1. 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.

2. 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.

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

   Final readings and the equipment log go into the job file, and the homeowner gets copies for the claim.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Insurers tend to separate a sudden failure from long-term seepage. A sudden tank failure is often treated as covered water damage, and gradual leakage often is not. Read the policy or call the insurer before assuming either way.

• Photograph the tank and the water before anything moves
• Keep the drying readings through the last day
• Check that the water category is noted on the work order

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
