How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Hamilton

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

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

   A wet wall plate behind finished basement drywall may need access. The technician measures the cavity before cutting.
