How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Auburn

Water under trim can spread laterally while the air conditioner keeps running. Shut the unit off safely and start extraction.

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

   Drywall below a mini split may hold water beneath intact paint. Readings help decide whether the cavity needs access.

3. Remove material that holds water

   A damp carpet pad may need to come out before the subfloor can dry. The technician evaluates contamination and saturation.

4. Dry and verify materials

   A ceiling below an attic AC unit needs readings across the wet span. Drying is complete when the targeted materials reach an appropriate condition.
