How Boiler and Radiator Leak Flood Water Removal Works in Dearborn

1. Remove the standing water

   A crew starts with the visible pool, using equipment suited to its depth.

2. Map the moisture

   Recorded measurements set a baseline for the dry-out.

3. Open what holds water

   Contaminated porous materials often require careful removal.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.

• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
