How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Dix

Mold can grow behind baseboards and inside wall cavities where no one can see it. That is why the crew trusts a moisture meter and a thermal camera over the surface.

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

   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

   Soaked pad, insulation and drywall that cannot dry get cut out and bagged. Removing them early keeps the rest of the structure on track.

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

Condo owners deal with two policies. The association's policy covers the shared structure, and the owner's policy covers the inside of the unit and its contents. Which policy pays for what depends on the building's documents.

• Keep soaked items for the adjuster if asked
• Ask for the moisture logs and equipment records
• Ask the insurer about reporting deadlines early

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