How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Saluda

Standing pan water may carry dirt into porous finishes. The crew assesses water condition before deciding what material can remain.

1. Extract the escaped water

   Pooling beneath an air handler cabinet needs access before drying begins. The crew extracts reachable water and checks neighboring flooring.

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.
