How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in New Sharon

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The New Sharon 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

   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

   Porous material affected by heavily contaminated water is handled differently from a clean surface spill. The restoration team assesses category first.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.
