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
