How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Fenwick

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

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

   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

   The Fenwick technician keeps a drying record for the homeowner. Rebuild work follows after affected materials reach their goals.
