How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Gretna

Wet building materials can stay damp behind cabinets or finished walls. A crew opens or removes material when needed for safe drying.

1. Extract the escaped water

   Pooling beneath an air handler cabinet needs access before drying begins. The crew extracts reachable water and checks neighboring flooring.

2. Map the wet boundary

   The technician marks affected layers so progress checks return to the same points. That record helps track drying.

3. Remove material that holds water

   A damp carpet pad may need to come out before the subfloor can dry. The technician evaluates contamination and saturation.

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.
