How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Lorimor

The Lorimor technician relies on readings rather than touch. Mold can start growing after 24 to 48 hours where heating water remains in porous material.

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   A baseboard heater leak can track along trim. The restoration team removes wet material or water where needed to expose the affected edge.

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

   Carpet padding that cannot dry in place is lifted. Air movement can then reach the remaining floor layers.

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.
