When a pipe bursts in an Allston, MA triple-decker, a local crew can be onsite quickly to contain the damage. Following IICRC-standard methods, technicians work to dry the structure and prevent mold across stacked units.

Truck-mounted extractors pull water from soaked floors. Technicians then open wall and ceiling cavities in the old building to access and remove the hidden water trapped inside the assemblies.
