How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Massena

A soaked carpet pad traps more liquid than the carpet surface suggests. The crew removes or dries affected layers according to their condition.

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

   Meter readings outline which Massena building materials are still damp. The crew compares the readings with nearby dry surfaces.

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.

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