How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Fort Leonard Wood

After a radiator leak, mold can start growing on wet materials in a 24 to 48 hour window. The Fort Leonard Wood crew extracts water and checks hidden floor layers.

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   When water reaches carpet, the technician checks the padding beneath it. Extraction targets wet layers, not only the visible surface.

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials
