What Burst Pipe Water Cleanup Includes in Boone

How Burst Pipe Water Cleanup Works in Boone

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians monitor humidity and material moisture, then record the results for the job file.
