How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Old Orchard Beach

Carpet pad holds water like a sponge and often cannot be saved. Pulling it early is one of the best ways to keep mold from starting.

1. Extract the standing water

   On a hard floor, the crew pushes and vacuums water toward a low spot. On carpet, it makes slow, overlapping passes with a weighted wand.

2. Map the moisture

   A moisture meter and a thermal camera show where water spread beyond the puddle. The technician marks wet walls and floors and records the readings.

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

   Drying in Old Orchard Beach usually takes several days, and thicker materials take longer. The readings, not a calendar, decide when it is done.
