How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in West Charleston

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

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

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.
