How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Cerro Gordo

Mold removal is not part of the crew's work. The job is to remove the water and dry the structure quickly enough that mold never gets started.

1. Extract the standing water

   The operator checks depth, sets the intake and runs hoses to a proper discharge point. The goal is to get the bulk of the tank water out of the building first.

2. Map the moisture

   If the heater sits in an attic, the scan includes the ceiling and walls below. Water often travels farther down than it looks from above.

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

   Equipment keeps running until the readings fall within the target range. Pulling it too soon leaves moisture that comes back as damage.
