A garage floor is bare concrete, so tank water does not soak in. It runs. It follows the slope, picks up dust and oil, and slips under the wall or door that joins the house.

The crew does not touch the heater, the gas or the wiring. It removes water and dries the structure while the plumber and an electrician handle their own parts.

How Garage Water Heater Leak Flood Cleanup Works in Naytahwaush

1. Extract the standing water

   The crew handles recovered water according to what it holds. Clean tank water goes to a proper drain, and anything contaminated is handled differently.

2. Map the moisture

   If the heater sits in an attic, the scan includes the ceiling and walls below. Water often travels farther down than it looks from above.

3. Open what holds water

   Wet cabinet kicks and trim may need to come off so the cavity behind them can dry. The crew opens only what the readings call for.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying in Naytahwaush usually takes several days, and thicker materials take longer. The readings, not a calendar, decide when it is done.

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 Naytahwaush 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.
