How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Fort Eustis

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

   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

   Technicians return to take moisture readings and adjust equipment. Drying ends when the materials reach the dry reference.
