How Water Heater Leak Water Cleanup Works in Jerome

1. Remove standing water

   Portable units reach upper rooms where truck mounted equipment cannot be placed close to the loss.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Swollen drywall that has lost strength may need a controlled cut to expose framing.

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Stopping the source limits new water, but it does not dry existing saturation. The extraction crew removes liquid water and measures the materials left behind.

• 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.
