How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Madison

1. Remove standing water

   Pumps draw down deep water so the crew can reach floors and lower walls. The crew checks whether water is still entering.

2. Map moisture

   Readings trace water beyond the visible puddle and into adjacent rooms. A nearby dry area can provide a useful comparison.

3. Remove soaked material

   Contaminated porous materials are separated from salvageable finishes. The loss source informs contamination handling.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.

• Close the heater water supply and keep clear of wet power if safe.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
