How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Saline

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

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

2. Map the wet boundary

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

3. Remove material that holds water

   Opening a wall base can expose wet framing after an air handler overflow. Access decisions follow the moisture map.

4. Dry and verify materials

   After extraction, controlled air movement removes remaining moisture. The crew checks the building before finish work starts.
