How Water Extraction Works in Baytown

Drywall wicks water up from the floor, often a foot or more above the visible line. The longer it stays wet, the more panels get cut out instead of dried in place.

1. Extract the standing water

   Weighted extraction tools pressed into carpet pull out water that a shop vacuum leaves behind. Technicians make repeat passes until the carpet stops giving up water.

2. Map the moisture

   Thermal images flag cool, damp patches on ceilings and walls, and meter readings confirm each one. The finished map goes straight into the claim file.

3. Open what holds water

   Small holes drilled behind baseboards let air into stud bays without removing whole sheets. When drywall is too far gone, the crew makes a flood cut at the height the moisture reached.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers sweep humid air off wet surfaces while LGR dehumidifiers pull the moisture out of the room. The loss class sets how many units go down.

Copper laid in a slab can rub against concrete or rebar until it pinholes. That wear is a familiar origin of slab leaks, and shifting clay soil adds to it.

Because deep freezes are uncommon, many Gulf Coast homes have little pipe insulation, so a rare cold night does outsized damage. Duplexes, small rentals and owner-occupied houses sit next to each other here, and a different person is responsible for repairs in each.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Condo owners usually carry an HO-6 policy for interior finishes and belongings, and the association's master policy covers the shared structure. The condo documents say where one ends and the other begins. Read both before the adjuster visits.

• Condo owners: report the leak to the association in writing
• Keep the burst hose, valve or fitting if it can be saved
• Read the exclusions section before the adjuster visit

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
