A local crew arrives to shut off water and, if needed, gas or power to the heater. They determine if the tank ruptured or is leaking slowly, which dictates the scope of the cleanup needed in Polytechnic Heights homes.
Technicians extract standing water from the garage slab, closet, or rooms below an attic unit before it wicks into walls and framing. This quick action is critical in preventing further damage in older Polytechnic Heights residences.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the slab, framing, and any affected walls or ceilings. The team checks moisture levels daily and documents readings and photos until the structure is dry, providing records for insurance.
