How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Mercer

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Mercer 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 Mercer crew tests beyond the stain before selecting access points.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   Saturated insulation above a ceiling may need removal so framing can dry. The crew records what was opened and why.

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.
