How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Emerson

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

   The technician checks subfloor and underlayment where radiator water crossed a seam. Meter readings define the wet perimeter.

3. Open only materials that hold water

4. Run equipment and verify drying

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