How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Big Lake

A leaking baseboard pipe can dampen wallboard edges. If they stay wet, mold may start growing after one or two days. Moisture mapping identifies drying needs.

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Big Lake crew extracts standing water before placing dryers. A boiler room floor may need water removed from behind stored items.

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

   Porous material affected by heavily contaminated water is handled differently from a clean surface spill. The restoration team assesses category first.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   Wood subfloor and drywall dry at different rates. The restoration team follows each material toward its own drying goal.
