How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Minter

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Minter 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

   The technician checks subfloor and underlayment where radiator water crossed a seam. Meter readings define the wet perimeter.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   Baseboard trim can block evaporation along a leaking heating run. The crew removes limited sections when readings call for it.

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.
