How Water Heater Flood Cleanup Works in Lorton

A musty smell a few days after a flood means moisture stayed somewhere. Moisture mapping finds those spots in a Lorton home before they grow into a bigger problem.

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

   If the heater sits in an attic, the scan includes the ceiling and walls below. Water often travels farther down than it looks from above.

3. Open what holds water

   Soaked pad, insulation and drywall that cannot dry get cut out and bagged. Removing them early keeps the rest of the structure on track.

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.

• Keep soaked items for the adjuster if asked
• Check that the water category is noted on the work order
