How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Jefferson City

3. Open only materials that hold water

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

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.
