How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Lewis

Boiler water may soak cardboard and basement wall finishes. Mold growth can start in as little as 24 to 48 hours on wet surfaces; extraction reduces ongoing saturation.

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Lewis 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

   Carpet padding that cannot dry in place is lifted. Air movement can then reach the remaining floor layers.

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.
