How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Lucama

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

   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

   A closet wall can absorb condensate on its hidden side. The crew checks both faces when access allows.

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.
