How Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Holyoke

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.

1. 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.

2. Map where the water went

   Insulation inside an attic platform or a closet wall can hold a lot of water that no one sees. A meter or a small inspection cut tells the crew which.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Wet insulation holds water and loses its value. It comes out and gets replaced after the structure is dry.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   The technician returns each day to read the same spots. The equipment stays until the readings sit within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference material.
