How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Wausau

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

   On a hard floor, the crew pushes and vacuums water toward a low spot. On carpet, it makes slow, overlapping passes with a weighted wand.

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

   Wet cabinet kicks and trim may need to come off so the cavity behind them can dry. The crew opens only what the readings call for.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers push dry air across wet surfaces, and LGR dehumidifiers pull vapor out of the room. The setup is sized to the wet area.
