How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Mercer

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Mercer 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

   Moisture can follow pipe penetrations between rooms. The restoration team maps both sides of those openings.

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 crew checks room air and material readings through the dry-out. Equipment stays until verified conditions support removal.
