How Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Glen Allen
An attic heater that leaks wets insulation and ceiling drywall from above. Those layers sit in the dark with little airflow, a slow-drying setup. That is why the crew opens the ceiling when the readings call for it.
-
Pump out the standing water
Every gallon pulled out as liquid is a gallon the dehumidifiers never have to handle. That is why pumping comes before any drying equipment goes down.
-
Map where the water went
Baseline readings come from a dry spot in the same house. Every wet reading gets compared against that baseline.
-
Remove what cannot dry
Category 2 and 3 water change the rules. Porous materials those waters touched get removed instead of dried.
-
Dry the structure and verify
Drying logs record the temperature, humidity and moisture readings for each visit. An adjuster can follow the job from the first photo to the last reading.
