How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Union City

A musty smell a few days after a flood means moisture stayed somewhere. Moisture mapping finds those spots in a Union City home before they grow into a bigger problem.

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

   Pin and pinless meters check different depths. The crew uses both on flooring, framing and drywall, then sketches the results.

3. 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.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying in Union City usually takes several days, and thicker materials take longer. The readings, not a calendar, decide when it is done.
