How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Frakes

Boiler water may soak cardboard and basement wall finishes. Mold growth can start in as little as 24 to 48 hours on wet surfaces; extraction reduces ongoing saturation.

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

   Carpet padding that cannot dry in place is lifted. Air movement can then reach the remaining floor layers.

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.
