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 Eagle River
-
Extract the standing water
A pump or truck-mounted unit pulls the deep water first. Wands then lift what is left from carpet, pad and low spots.
-
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
Baseboards come off so wall bottoms can breathe. Small cuts in drywall let air reach wet insulation and studs.
-
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
Hot tank water raises humidity in a closed room. That extra moisture settles on cool surfaces, so dehumidifiers matter as much as pumps.
- 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.
