How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Troy

Mold removal is not part of the crew's work. The job is to remove the water and dry the structure quickly enough that mold never gets started.

1. 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.

2. Map the moisture

   Pin and pinless meters check different depths. The crew uses both on flooring, framing and drywall, then sketches the results.

3. Open what holds water

   Hardwood and laminate may need drying mats or the removal of a few boards, depending on how deep the water went.

4. Dry and verify

   Final readings and the equipment log go into the job file, and the homeowner gets copies for the claim.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Condo owners deal with two policies. The association's policy covers the shared structure, and the owner's policy covers the inside of the unit and its contents. Which policy pays for what depends on the building's documents.

• Ask for the moisture logs and equipment records
• Ask the insurer what the policy says about rust and wear
• Keep receipts for the new heater and its installation

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
