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

   Water from steam piping may travel behind a heater cover. The technician checks concealed edges after the heating system is safe.

3. Open only materials that hold water
