How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Citronelle

Ceiling insulation can retain moisture from an upstairs heating leak. Within 24 to 48 hours, mold can begin growing on damp material, so the cavity needs attention.

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Citronelle 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

   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

   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

   The Citronelle technician keeps a drying record for the homeowner. Rebuild work follows after affected materials reach their goals.
