How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Union

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Union 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

   The technician checks subfloor and underlayment where radiator water crossed a seam. Meter readings define the wet perimeter.

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry remaining materials. The technician records daily readings rather than stopping when the surface feels dry.
