How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Selfridge

Boiler water may soak cardboard and basement wall finishes. Mold growth can start in as little as 24 to 48 hours on wet surfaces; extraction reduces ongoing saturation.

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

   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

   The Selfridge 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 Selfridge crew adjusts equipment to measured progress.
