How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Clayton

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Clayton 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

   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

   A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.
