How Steam Pipe Leak Water Damage Cleanup Works in De Beque

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The De Beque crew extracts standing water before placing dryers. A boiler room floor may need water removed from behind stored items.

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

   Finished basement walls may wick water upward from the floor. Measurements along the wall base reveal the affected height.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   The De Beque crew documents each material removed during the dry-out. Finish work is scoped after moisture goals are reached.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.

• Keep people away from hot pipes, steam and pooling condensate.
• Avoid touching wet fixtures, outlets or heating controls.
• Leave steam system shutdown to a heating technician when controls are unsafe.
• Keep clear of soft or sagging ceiling material beneath the leak.
• Call 24/7 for water removal once the heating hazard is being addressed.
