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.

   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

   Baseboard trim can block evaporation along a leaking heating run. The crew removes limited sections when readings call for it.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry remaining materials. The technician records daily readings rather than stopping when the surface feels dry.
