How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Fords

A musty smell a few days after a flood means moisture stayed somewhere. Moisture mapping finds those spots in a Fords 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

   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

   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.
