How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Edgar

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   An upstairs leak may have little surface water after draining below. The crew still checks the ceiling cavity and extracts any accessible collected water.

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

   The Edgar crew documents each material removed during the dry-out. Finish work is scoped after moisture goals are reached.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

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