How Burst Pipe Flood Water Removal Works in Mapleton

1. Remove the standing water

2. Map the moisture

   Hidden cavities are assessed where the water path suggests intrusion.

3. Open what holds water

   Wet drywall sections may be removed to expose the cavity.

4. Dry and verify

   Final moisture checks support the handoff to any later rebuild work.
