How Water Heater Leak Water Cleanup Works in Platteville

1. Remove standing water

   Carpet and pad need more than surface wiping; a local crew presses extraction tools across the wet area.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A room by room moisture map helps place drying gear where it will matter.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily readings show whether equipment placement should change as the loss dries.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wood, plaster and concrete can hold moisture longer than carpet. Repeated measurements tell the team when dense materials are actually dry.

• Close the cold supply valve to the heater if safe.
• Avoid hot water and keep clear of wet electrical equipment.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
