1. Remove the escaped heating water

   A radiator leak can leave a shallow pool across a large floor. The extraction team removes liquid water so drying equipment faces a smaller load.

   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

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