How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Lowgap

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Lowgap 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 ceiling mark below the leak may conceal damp insulation. The Lowgap crew tests beyond the stain before selecting access points.

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.

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