How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Cohoctah

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

   A moisture meter and a thermal camera show where water spread beyond the puddle. The technician marks wet walls and floors and records the readings.

3. Open what holds water

   Hardwood and laminate may need drying mats or the removal of a few boards, depending on how deep the water went.

4. Dry and verify

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