How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Spelter

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Spelter 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

3. Open only materials that hold water

   A wet wall plate behind finished basement drywall may need access. The technician measures the cavity before cutting.
