How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Lakeside

-
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.
-
Trace moisture through nearby materials
Finished basement walls may wick water upward from the floor. Measurements along the wall base reveal the affected height.
-
Open only materials that hold water
Saturated insulation above a ceiling may need removal so framing can dry. The crew records what was opened and why.
-
Run equipment and verify drying
A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.
