How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Oshkosh

People with asthma, allergies or weak immune systems should stay out of a room that has been wet for days. Call the crew, and leave the soaked materials to the crew.

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

   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

   The crew bags and removes wet debris so it does not feed humidity back into the room.

4. Dry and verify

   Final readings and the equipment log go into the job file, and the homeowner gets copies for the claim.
