How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Santee

1. Remove the escaped heating water

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

   The crew checks room air and material readings through the dry-out. Equipment stays until verified conditions support removal.
