How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Killen

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   Basement water can collect at wall bases. Crews in Killen pull it out and check adjacent rooms for spread.

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
