How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Garfield

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   Basement water can collect at wall bases. Crews in Garfield 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

4. Run equipment and verify drying
