Water category matters during boiler and radiator leak water cleanup in Fairfax. Clean supply water, gray appliance discharge and sewage affect cleaning and material decisions.

Cleanup starts after the source is controlled. A local water crew pumps, tests material moisture and places drying equipment, while the appropriate trade corrects the cause.
