How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Merit
Mold can grow behind baseboards and inside wall cavities where no one can see it. That is why the crew trusts a moisture meter and a thermal camera over the surface.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Open what holds water
Wet cabinet kicks and trim may need to come off so the cavity behind them can dry. The crew opens only what the readings call for.
-
Dry and verify
Drying in Merit usually takes several days, and thicker materials take longer. The readings, not a calendar, decide when it is done.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Heaters in outbuildings and porch closets face the biggest swing between warm days and freezing nights.
