How Boiler and Radiator Leak Flood Cleanup Works in Baxter

1. Remove standing water

3. Remove soaked material

   The crew opens wet wall areas when access is needed for drying. A technician records the material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

   Final checks document the remaining structure after extraction. Records can explain the work to an insurer.
