How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Ludlow

1. Remove the escaped heating water

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

   A wet wall plate behind finished basement drywall may need access. The technician measures the cavity before cutting.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   The Ludlow technician keeps a drying record for the homeowner. Rebuild work follows after affected materials reach their goals.
