Water Extraction

Q. How do I know when my property is completely dry?

A. You need to test with a moisture meter and restoration equipment to ensure that the water extraction process is precisely done, and there is no moisture left. Simply touching the water and floors will not only offer false indications, and there would be a risk of molds and mildews if the moisture level is not zero in every corner of the house.

Q. After removing water from the house, will turning on the heater help to dry the place?

A. For the proper drying, you need to set the optimum temperature. Also, the equal heat temperature should reach every corner of the house. If the water is flooded due to some minor leakage, turning on the heater at optimum temperature may help. But you should not turn off the heater until the moisture level is zero. However, for floods, natural disasters, and bursting pipes, it’s better to seek professional assistance for water extraction and dehumidification.

Q. Should I flush out my water heater at regular intervals?

A. Sediments collect at the bottom of the water heater, depending on how hard the water flows through pipes. However, when you flush out the water heater, the drain valve will not drain bigger particles.

In such a case, your valve may leak, so it’s recommended to get professional assistance.
