How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Dodson

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

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

   A dry-looking floor can hold moisture beneath its finish. The crew compares readings across affected and unaffected areas.

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

   A basement loss may require humidity control along with directed airflow. The Dodson crew adjusts equipment to measured progress.
