How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Eldridge

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

   A mini split drip may run down a wall to the floor. The technician removes collected water at the wall base.

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

   Loose ceiling drywall should be assessed from a safe position. Removal may be needed when material is unstable or saturated.

4. Dry and verify materials

   The crew monitors flooring and wall edges instead of relying on a dry appearance. Final measurements establish the condition.
