1. Remove the escaped heating water

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

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

   The technician checks subfloor and underlayment where radiator water crossed a seam. Meter readings define the wet perimeter.

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
