How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Pittsburg

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

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

2. Map the wet boundary

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

3. Remove material that holds water

   Trim can be lifted to reach a wet floor edge. The crew records what was removed for later finish work.

4. Dry and verify materials

   A ceiling below an attic AC unit needs readings across the wet span. Drying is complete when the targeted materials reach an appropriate condition.
