How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Challenge

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

   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

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