How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Pateros

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.

   The Pateros crew documents each material removed during the dry-out. Finish work is scoped after moisture goals are reached.
