How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Fort Bragg

Standing pan water may carry dirt into porous finishes. The crew assesses water condition before deciding what material can remain.

1. Extract the escaped water

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

2. Map the wet boundary

   Meter readings outline which Fort Bragg 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

   A ceiling below an attic AC unit needs readings across the wet span. Drying is complete when the targeted materials reach an appropriate condition.
