How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Cottekill

The Cottekill technician relies on readings rather than touch. Mold can start growing after 24 to 48 hours where heating water remains in porous material.

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   When water reaches carpet, the technician checks the padding beneath it. Extraction targets wet layers, not only the visible surface.

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

   A dry-looking floor can hold moisture beneath its finish. The crew compares readings across affected and unaffected areas.

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.
