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

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

3. Open only materials that hold water

   Saturated insulation above a ceiling may need removal so framing can dry. The crew records what was opened and why.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

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