How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Mentmore

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

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

2. Map the wet boundary

   Meter readings outline which Mentmore 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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers support evaporation from wet Mentmore materials. Repeat readings show whether moisture is dropping.
