Remove the escaped heating water

-
Trace moisture through nearby materials
Finished basement walls may wick water upward from the floor. Measurements along the wall base reveal the affected height.

Open only materials that hold water

Run equipment and verify drying
A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.
