How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Boulder

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Boulder 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

   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

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