How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Kennard

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

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

3. Open only materials that hold water

   Porous material affected by heavily contaminated water is handled differently from a clean surface spill. The restoration team assesses category first.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   The Kennard technician keeps a drying record for the homeowner. Rebuild work follows after affected materials reach their goals.
