How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Branch

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Branch 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

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

4. Run equipment and verify drying

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