How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Palco

Ceiling insulation can retain moisture from an upstairs heating leak. Within 24 to 48 hours, mold can begin growing on damp material, so the cavity needs attention.

1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Palco crew extracts standing water before placing dryers. A boiler room floor may need water removed from behind stored items.

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

   A ceiling mark below the leak may conceal damp insulation. The Palco crew tests beyond the stain before selecting access points.

3. 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.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   The crew checks room air and material readings through the dry-out. Equipment stays until verified conditions support removal.
