How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Castor

A household fan may leave water behind drywall. Damp building layers can support mold growth starting by the second day after the leak.

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

   A ceiling mark below the leak may conceal damp insulation. The Castor crew tests beyond the stain before selecting access points.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   A wet wall plate behind finished basement drywall may need access. The technician measures the cavity before cutting.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   A basement loss may require humidity control along with directed airflow. The Castor crew adjusts equipment to measured progress.
