How it's done

The water heater leak process in Japantown

1

Rapid Shutoff and Arrival

A local restoration team arrives in Japantown within about an hour, day or night. Their first action is confirming the water supply to the leaking heater has been completely shut off to stop the flow.

2

Thorough Water Extraction

Using pumps and extractors, the crew removes all standing water from the garage, utility area, or basement. They also check adjoining rooms in the older home layout for any water that may have traveled.

3

Targeted Drying Process

Technicians use moisture meters to create a precise map of affected materials, including under flooring and behind baseboards. Professional drying equipment then runs until all readings confirm the structure is dry.
