How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Stonington

The first day matters when flooring absorbs AC water. Photos and moisture readings establish where the work should focus.

1. Extract the escaped water

   A technician first removes visible liquid from the Stonington 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

   Opening a wall base can expose wet framing after an air handler overflow. Access decisions follow the moisture map.

4. Dry and verify materials

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