How Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Kealakekua
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
Carpet and pad hold more water than their surface shows. The crew runs an extraction tool over wet carpet, then lifts the pad when it cannot be saved.
-
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
Wet insulation holds water and loses its value. It comes out and gets replaced after the structure is dry.
-
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.
