How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Strawberry Point

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   When water reaches carpet, the technician checks the padding beneath it. Extraction targets wet layers, not only the visible surface.

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

   Wood subfloor and drywall dry at different rates. The restoration team follows each material toward its own drying goal.
