How Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Lamont
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
Water that sits under a heater drains into low spots, door tracks and carpet edges. The crew chases it into each one with a wand and a pump.
-
Map where the water went
A thermal camera shows cool, wet patches on floors and walls that look dry. A moisture meter then confirms which patches hold water.
-
Remove what cannot dry
Soaked carpet pad, swollen baseboards and crumbling drywall come out. Sound framing and solid flooring stay.
-
Dry the structure and verify
Readings that stall point to a hidden wet layer. The crew checks again, adds access or moves the equipment.
