How Water Heater Leak Water Damage Works in Prospect

A slow leak can keep a subfloor wet for weeks. By the time a stain appears, the wet period runs far longer than two days. The crew measures how deep the moisture goes before deciding how much comes out.

1. Pump out the standing water

   In a Prospect garage or basement, a drain or sump may carry some of the water away. The crew still extracts what the slab keeps.

2. 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.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Category 2 and 3 water change the rules. Porous materials those waters touched get removed instead of dried.

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.
