How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Balm

Humid indoor air slows evaporation from wet drywall. Dehumidifiers and air movement support a measured drying plan.

1. Extract the escaped water

   Pooling beneath an air handler cabinet needs access before drying begins. The crew extracts reachable water and checks neighboring flooring.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Floor seams and baseboards can conceal an AC overflow path. Moisture mapping shows where the liquid traveled.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Porous material that cannot dry safely is taken out before closing the drying phase. Rebuild follows later.

4. Dry and verify materials

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