How Gas Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Warner

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

   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

   Soaked pad, insulation and drywall that cannot dry get cut out and bagged. Removing them early keeps the rest of the structure on track.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew watches temperature and humidity along with moisture content. Those numbers show whether drying is on track.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Carpet pad holds water like a sponge and often cannot be saved. Pulling it early is one of the best ways to keep mold from starting.

• If there is any gas smell, leave right away and call the gas utility or 911 from outside.
• Do not flip switches or light flames near a gas smell, and make calls from outside.
• Do not relight the pilot or try the burner after a flood.
• Turn off power only from a dry panel, and call an electrician if you must step into water.
• Keep everyone away from the wet area until it is cleared.
