How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Cordova

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Cordova 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

   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

   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

   A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.
