How Burst Pipe Water Cleanup Works in Hampden

1. Remove standing water

   Carpet and pad need more than surface wiping; a local crew presses extraction tools across the wet area.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Dirty water on porous materials changes the work: contaminated pieces usually come out.

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

After a sewage backup, porous materials that touched contaminated water usually come out. Remaining surfaces are cleaned before structural drying proceeds.

• Close the main water valve.
• Keep clear of dripping light fixtures and bowed ceilings.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
