How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Shunk

The Shunk technician relies on readings rather than touch. Mold can start growing after 24 to 48 hours where heating water remains in porous material.

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Shunk 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

   Finished basement walls may wick water upward from the floor. Measurements along the wall base reveal the affected height.

3. Open only materials that hold water

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

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry remaining materials. The technician records daily readings rather than stopping when the surface feels dry.
