How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Helena

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

   The crew bags and removes wet debris so it does not feed humidity back into the room.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment keeps running until the readings fall within the target range. Pulling it too soon leaves moisture that comes back as damage.
