How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Stratford

A dry looking wall face can conceal a wet backside. Moisture mapping helps the technician avoid leaving damp layers closed in.

1. Extract the escaped water

   An attic overflow may drip into a room below. The crew captures surface water before evaluating the ceiling material.

2. 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.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Opening a wall base can expose wet framing after an air handler overflow. Access decisions follow the moisture map.

4. Dry and verify materials

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