How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Hardwick

A musty smell a few days after a flood means moisture stayed somewhere. Moisture mapping finds those spots in a Hardwick home before they grow into a bigger problem.

1. Extract the standing water

   A pump or truck-mounted unit pulls the deep water first. Wands then lift what is left from carpet, pad and low spots.

2. Map the moisture

   Tank water wicks up drywall and runs under baseboards. The scan follows those paths in the heater room and in the rooms next to it.

3. Open what holds water

   Baseboards come off so wall bottoms can breathe. Small cuts in drywall let air reach wet insulation and studs.

4. Dry and verify

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

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Condo owners deal with two policies. The association's policy covers the shared structure, and the owner's policy covers the inside of the unit and its contents. Which policy pays for what depends on the building's documents.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
