How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Dewar
The Dewar technician relies on readings rather than touch. Mold can start growing after 24 to 48 hours where heating water remains in porous material.
-
Remove the escaped heating water
An upstairs leak may have little surface water after draining below. The crew still checks the ceiling cavity and extracts any accessible collected water.
-
Trace moisture through nearby materials
Moisture can follow pipe penetrations between rooms. The restoration team maps both sides of those openings.
-
Open only materials that hold water
Saturated insulation above a ceiling may need removal so framing can dry. The crew records what was opened and why.
-
Run equipment and verify drying
A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.
