How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Edison

A leaking baseboard pipe can dampen wallboard edges. If they stay wet, mold may start growing after one or two days. Moisture mapping identifies drying needs.

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   An upstairs leak may have little surface water after draining below. The crew still checks the ceiling cavity and extracts any accessible collected water.

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

   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 basement loss may require humidity control along with directed airflow. The Edison crew adjusts equipment to measured progress.
