How Tankless Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Hartshorne

1. Pump out the standing water

   Water that sits under a heater drains into low spots, door tracks and carpet edges. The crew chases it into each one with a wand and a pump.

2. Map where the water went

   The technician reads wall bases, door frames and the ceiling below the heater. The readings go on a map that marks the edge of the wet zone.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Soaked carpet pad, swollen baseboards and crumbling drywall come out. Sound framing and solid flooring stay.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   The drying class sets how much equipment a room needs, from Class 1 to Class 4. A small closet leak needs less than a soaked, sealed room.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Painting or closing a wall over damp materials traps the moisture. Growth can begin in a sealed cavity long before anyone smells it. Dry readings come first, finishes second.

• Close the cold water valve to the unit.
• Turn off the gas valve and the unit's power.
• Put a pan or towel under the drip, and keep away from wet wiring.
• Move items out of the cabinet or off the shelf below.
• Photograph the unit, the fittings and the wet wall.
