How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Secretary

After a radiator leak, mold can start growing on wet materials in a 24 to 48 hour window. The Secretary crew extracts water and checks hidden floor layers.

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   A radiator leak can leave a shallow pool across a large floor. The extraction team removes liquid water so drying equipment faces a smaller load.

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

   Saturated insulation above a ceiling may need removal so framing can dry. The crew records what was opened and why.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry remaining materials. The technician records daily readings rather than stopping when the surface feels dry.
