How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Broughton

A ceiling cavity can hold condensate beyond the visible stain. Drying equipment and progress readings address the absorbed moisture.

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

   A closet wall can absorb condensate on its hidden side. The crew checks both faces when access allows.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Soaked insulation may block a ceiling cavity from drying. The crew removes material when its condition calls for it.

4. Dry and verify materials

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