How Radiator Leak Ceiling Water Damage Works in West Green

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

   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

   The West Green crew documents each material removed during the dry-out. Finish work is scoped after moisture goals are reached.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.
