How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Erhard

A dry looking wall face can conceal a wet backside. Moisture mapping helps the technician avoid leaving damp layers closed in.

1. Extract the escaped water

   Water trapped against trim can keep moving through a room. The crew removes bulk moisture before setting drying equipment.

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.
