How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Gerry

The Gerry 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

   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

   Finished basement walls may wick water upward from the floor. Measurements along the wall base reveal the affected height.

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.
