How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Lamar

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 Lamar floor. Recovery tools then work along the edges where condensate collected.

2. Map the wet boundary

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

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers support evaporation from wet Lamar materials. Repeat readings show whether moisture is dropping.
