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.
-
Trace moisture through nearby materials
The technician checks subfloor and underlayment where radiator water crossed a seam. Meter readings define the wet perimeter.
-
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.

Run equipment and verify drying
A basement loss may require humidity control along with directed airflow. The Saint Charles crew adjusts equipment to measured progress.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Boiler rooms may be used heavily through winter. An unnoticed fitting leak can reach basement wall edges.
