How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Blanchard

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Blanchard 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

   Finished basement walls may wick water upward from the floor. Measurements along the wall base reveal the affected height.

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