How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Bivins

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   Basement water can collect at wall bases. Crews in Bivins pull it out and check adjacent rooms for spread.

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
