   Standing liquid near a radiator must be removed promptly. The crew records the initial depth and affected area. A quick vacuum pass is followed by a check for residual water near the fixture and adjacent seams. The operator assesses the threshold before moving hoses into a dry room.

2. Map the wet materials

   A radiator leak may reach a lower Clawson ceiling. Readings help define the drying boundary. The technician compares the damp edge with an unaffected part of the same finish. Unchanged readings signal a need to reconsider access or equipment.
