Denver Damage Restoration & Biohazard Cleanup | Hearth Restoration

Immediately shut off the water supply to the heater and disconnect power if safe. Then call Hearth Restoration. Water heater leaks often hide moisture in walls and under floors, leading to mold growth within 24-48 hours. Our team uses industrial extraction equipment and moisture meters to dry the area thoroughly, followed by mold remediation if needed. We’ll also inspect for any secondary damage from the overflow.

Look for musty odors, discolored drywall or peeling paint, warped baseboards, and a sudden spike in your water bill. A burst pipe can spray water into wall cavities and under flooring without puddling visibly. Hearth Restoration uses thermal imaging and moisture detection to locate hidden water, then performs damage restoration and environmental abatement to prevent mold and structural issues.

After flooding, mold can start growing in damp areas like basements and crawl spaces. Our process begins with containment and air filtration to prevent spores from spreading. We then remove affected materials and apply antimicrobial treatments before drying and restoring the area. We also address the root cause—such as poor drainage or humidity—to prevent recurrence, giving Denver homeowners peace of mind.
