A burst water heater is not a drip. The steel shell splits or a weld lets go, and most of a bathtub's worth of water crosses the floor while fresh water keeps entering the tank until the shutoff valve is closed.

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 Water Heater Burst Flood Cleanup Works in Goodspring

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

   Readings get compared with a dry reference in an unaffected room. That comparison decides which materials are wet and which are fine.

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

   Final readings and the equipment log go into the job file, and the homeowner gets copies for the claim.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wet drywall, pad and wood framing give mold what it needs. The crew pulls the materials that cannot dry and dries the rest before that window closes.

• Close the cold water valve above the heater if you can reach it over dry floor.
• Switch off the heater's power at the breaker only if the panel is in a dry spot.
• Smell gas? Leave the house and call the gas utility from outside.
• Lift rugs, electronics and boxes out of the water, and leave heavy furniture alone.
• Keep children and pets out of the room, because the water can be hot and the floor slick.

• Check that the water category is noted on the work order
