1. Remove the escaped heating water

   Basement water can collect at wall bases. Crews in Medora pull it out and check adjacent rooms for spread.

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