How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in O Fallon

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

   Extraction starts once the supply is off and the room is safe to enter. Every gallon pulled out early is less water for the walls to absorb.

2. Map the moisture

   Readings get compared with a dry reference in an unaffected room. That comparison decides which materials are wet and which are fine.

3. Open what holds water

   Opening a wall sounds drastic, but a wet cavity that stays closed holds water for days. The crew makes the smallest opening that does the job.

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.
