How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Elwood

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   An upstairs leak may have little surface water after draining below. The crew still checks the ceiling cavity and extracts any accessible collected 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

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

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   A basement loss may require humidity control along with directed airflow. The Elwood crew adjusts equipment to measured progress.
