How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Los Molinos

A ceiling cavity can hold condensate beyond the visible stain. Drying equipment and progress readings address the absorbed moisture.

1. Extract the escaped water

   A technician first removes visible liquid from the Los Molinos floor. Recovery tools then work along the edges where condensate collected.

2. Map the wet boundary

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

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

   After extraction, controlled air movement removes remaining moisture. The crew checks the building before finish work starts.
