Who comes first depends on the moment. If the heater is still pouring, close the valve or call the plumber. If the water has already stopped, call the crew right away.

How Condo Water Heater Leak Flood Cleanup Works in Pennsylvania Furnace
-
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.
-
Map the moisture
Tank water wicks up drywall and runs under baseboards. The scan follows those paths in the heater room and in the rooms next to it.
-
Open what holds water
Hardwood and laminate may need drying mats or the removal of a few boards, depending on how deep the water went.
-
Dry and verify
Technicians return to take moisture readings and adjust equipment. Drying ends when the materials reach the dry reference.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Mold removal is not part of the crew's work. The job is to remove the water and dry the structure quickly enough that mold never gets started.
- Close the cold water valve at the heater, or the unit's shutoff, if you can reach it.
- Call the building manager so the neighbors below can be warned.
- Do not use lights or outlets in the wet closet or hallway.
- Take photos of the closet, floor and any stains before anything moves.
- Tell the front desk or manager that a crew is coming so the entrance stays clear.
