How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Gallant

Water from an upper radiator can reach the room below. Mold can begin to grow on wet ceiling materials in 24 to 48 hours, making early assessment important.

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Gallant 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

   Finished basement walls may wick water upward from the floor. Measurements along the wall base reveal the affected height.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   A wet wall plate behind finished basement drywall may need access. The technician measures the cavity before cutting.

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.
