How Boiler Leak Basement Water Damage Works in Plaistow

1. Remove the escaped heating water

3. Open only materials that hold water

   The Plaistow crew documents each material removed during the dry-out. Finish work is scoped after moisture goals are reached.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   The crew checks room air and material readings through the dry-out. Equipment stays until verified conditions support removal.
