How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Bullard

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   An upstairs leak may have little surface water after draining below. The crew still checks the ceiling cavity and extracts any accessible collected water.

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

   Moisture can follow pipe penetrations between rooms. The restoration team maps both sides of those openings.

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

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