How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Niantic

Wet building materials can stay damp behind cabinets or finished walls. A crew opens or removes material when needed for safe drying.

1. Extract the escaped water

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

2. Map the wet boundary

   Drywall below a mini split may hold water beneath intact paint. Readings help decide whether the cavity needs access.

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.
