How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Palmetto

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

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

   Moisture can follow pipe penetrations between rooms. The restoration team maps both sides of those openings.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   Porous material affected by heavily contaminated water is handled differently from a clean surface spill. The restoration team assesses category first.

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.
