How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Henrico

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   Basement water can collect at wall bases. Crews in Henrico pull it out and check adjacent rooms for spread.

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.
