How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Sebec

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   Basement water can collect at wall bases. Crews in Sebec 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

   Porous material affected by heavily contaminated water is handled differently from a clean surface spill. The restoration team assesses category first.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   Wood subfloor and drywall dry at different rates. The restoration team follows each material toward its own drying goal.
