Shut down
Supply and power or gas off.
Extract
Water pulled from every wet room.
Dry
Walls and floors dried in place.
Verify
Readings logged until dry.
Water heaters sit in garages, hall closets and attics, often against a shared wall with a bedroom or a kitchen. A slow drip from a valve or a sudden tank failure soaks the base of that wall, the flooring around it and anything stored nearby.
Stop, drain and extract
The cold supply valve on top of the heater and the power or gas are turned off first. Then the extraction crew pulls the water off the floor and checks the shared walls and the next room with meters, because water travels under baseboards and along the slab.

- Water extracted from closet, garage and next rooms
- Baseboards pulled where readings say wet
When the heater is in the attic
An attic heater that fails sends water through insulation and ceiling drywall, the same path as an attic pipe leak. Wet insulation comes out and the ceiling is dried or opened depending on readings. The EPA WaterSense leak page lists simple checks for drips around tanks and valves.

A sudden failure is often covered, while damage from a slow, long-running leak may not be. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
