How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Merrimac

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   A radiator leak can leave a shallow pool across a large floor. The extraction team removes liquid water so drying equipment faces a smaller load.

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

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

3. Open only materials that hold water

   The Merrimac 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 crew checks room air and material readings through the dry-out. Equipment stays until verified conditions support removal.
