How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Hilliard

1. Remove the escaped heating water

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

3. Open only materials that hold water

   A wet wall plate behind finished basement drywall may need access. The technician measures the cavity before cutting.

4. Run equipment and verify drying
