How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in East Islip

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

   Water trapped against trim can keep moving through a room. The crew removes bulk moisture before setting drying equipment.

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

   Porous material that cannot dry safely is taken out before closing the drying phase. Rebuild follows later.

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.
