How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Loami

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

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   When water reaches carpet, the technician checks the padding beneath it. Extraction targets wet layers, not only the visible surface.

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

   Water from steam piping may travel behind a heater cover. The technician checks concealed edges after the heating system is safe.

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

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