1. Remove the escaped heating water

   A radiator leak can leave a shallow pool across a large floor. The extraction team removes liquid water so drying equipment faces a smaller load.

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

   Saturated insulation above a ceiling may need removal so framing can dry. The crew records what was opened and why.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   Wood subfloor and drywall dry at different rates. The restoration team follows each material toward its own drying goal.
