How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Crapo

A household fan may leave water behind drywall. Damp building layers can support mold growth starting by the second day after the leak.

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

   Moisture can follow pipe penetrations between rooms. The restoration team maps both sides of those openings.

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.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

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

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim
