How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Candler

The first day matters when flooring absorbs AC water. Photos and moisture readings establish where the work should focus.

1. Extract the escaped water

   Carpet can hold more liquid than the top feels like. Extraction tools pull water from the textile and pad area.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Meter readings outline which Candler building materials are still damp. The crew compares the readings with nearby dry surfaces.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Loose ceiling drywall should be assessed from a safe position. Removal may be needed when material is unstable or saturated.

4. Dry and verify materials

   Equipment placement changes when a cavity remains damp. The technician adjusts airflow to reach the affected layer.
