How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Cape Canaveral

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.

   The crew checks room air and material readings through the dry-out. Equipment stays until verified conditions support removal.
