1. Remove the escaped heating water

   A baseboard heater leak can track along trim. The restoration team removes wet material or water where needed to expose the affected edge.

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

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