How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Hemlock

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Hemlock 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

   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

   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

   A basement loss may require humidity control along with directed airflow. The Hemlock crew adjusts equipment to measured progress.
