How Garage Water Heater Leak Flood Cleanup Works in Harvey

1. Extract the standing water

   Hoses and cords stay out of the wet zone and away from the heater, so the pump-out stays safe for everyone in the room.

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

   Opening a wall sounds drastic, but a wet cavity that stays closed holds water for days. The crew makes the smallest opening that does the job.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew watches temperature and humidity along with moisture content. Those numbers show whether drying is on track.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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

• Close the cold water valve above the heater if the floor around it is dry.
• Do not touch the garage door opener or outlets standing in water.
• Lift tools, paint cans and electronics onto a dry bench or shelf.
• Smell gas near a gas heater? Leave and call the gas utility.
• Keep the door to the house closed to slow water going inside.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Owners live in 70% of the occupied homes in these ZIP codes. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Harvey was built in the 1960s. Many houses built in these decades keep the heater in the garage or a utility closet. Water runs out of the closet and into the hallway or across the garage floor.
