How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Leighton

Wet building materials can stay damp behind cabinets or finished walls. A crew opens or removes material when needed for safe drying.

1. Extract the escaped water

   A technician first removes visible liquid from the Leighton floor. Recovery tools then work along the edges where condensate collected.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Floor seams and baseboards can conceal an AC overflow path. Moisture mapping shows where the liquid traveled.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Soaked insulation may block a ceiling cavity from drying. The crew removes material when its condition calls for it.

4. Dry and verify materials

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