How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Dorothy

After a radiator leak, mold can start growing on wet materials in a 24 to 48 hour window. The Dorothy 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

   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

   The Dorothy crew documents each material removed during the dry-out. Finish work is scoped after moisture goals are reached.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry remaining materials. The technician records daily readings rather than stopping when the surface feels dry.
