How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Woolwich
After a radiator leak, mold can start growing on wet materials in a 24 to 48 hour window. The Woolwich crew extracts water and checks hidden floor layers.
-
Remove the escaped heating water
When water reaches carpet, the technician checks the padding beneath it. Extraction targets wet layers, not only the visible surface.
-
Trace moisture through nearby materials

-
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.

Air movers and dehumidifiers dry remaining materials. The technician records daily readings rather than stopping when the surface feels dry.
