-
Remove the escaped heating water

Finished basement walls may wick water upward from the floor. Measurements along the wall base reveal the affected height.
-
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.
-
Run equipment and verify drying
Wood subfloor and drywall dry at different rates. The restoration team follows each material toward its own drying goal.

- Avoid touching wet fixtures, outlets or heating controls.
- Leave steam system shutdown to a heating technician when controls are unsafe.
