How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Niantic
A soaked carpet pad traps more liquid than the carpet surface suggests. The crew removes or dries affected layers according to their condition.
-
Extract the escaped water
Carpet can hold more liquid than the top feels like. Extraction tools pull water from the textile and pad area.
-
Map the wet boundary
The visible ceiling stain may be smaller than the wet insulation above. A technician checks the broader span before choosing equipment.
-
Remove material that holds water
Porous material that cannot dry safely is taken out before closing the drying phase. Rebuild follows later.
-
Dry and verify materials
The crew monitors flooring and wall edges instead of relying on a dry appearance. Final measurements establish the condition.
