How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in New Canaan

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The New Canaan crew extracts standing water before placing dryers. A boiler room floor may need water removed from behind stored items.

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

   A dry-looking floor can hold moisture beneath its finish. The crew compares readings across affected and unaffected areas.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   Carpet padding that cannot dry in place is lifted. Air movement can then reach the remaining floor layers.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   Wood subfloor and drywall dry at different rates. The restoration team follows each material toward its own drying goal.
