How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Shepherd

1. Remove the escaped heating water

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

   The Shepherd crew documents each material removed during the dry-out. Finish work is scoped after moisture goals are reached.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   The Shepherd technician keeps a drying record for the homeowner. Rebuild work follows after affected materials reach their goals.
