How Water Heater Leak Cleanup Works

1. Make the area safe

   The crew checks that inflow has stopped. Shut off the heater water supply and keep clear of hot water. Extraction begins when conditions are safe.

2. Remove pooled water

   Pumps or extraction tools clear accessible floors and low spots. The technician records depth and rooms.

3. Follow the moisture path

   Meters check closets, garage walls, attic ceilings and floors. Remove water around the unit and map spread through nearby floors; material that cannot dry in place is taken out.

4. Dry and document

   Air movers and dehumidifiers target the wet assembly. Daily readings and photographs record progress for an insurance claim.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Shut off the heater water supply and keep clear of hot water.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.

What to Expect From the Crew

• The source changes the plan

  With a failed tank, valve or heater connection, the crew checks the water path before selecting extraction and drying methods.

• Hidden wet material gets attention

  Closets, garage walls, attic ceilings and floors can stay damp after surface water is gone. Readings direct drying or removal.

• A record of the water loss

  Photos and drying readings document affected materials for an insurance claim.
