How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Fertile

A dry looking wall face can conceal a wet backside. Moisture mapping helps the technician avoid leaving damp layers closed in.

1. Extract the escaped water

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

2. Map the wet boundary

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

3. Remove material that holds water

   Trim can be lifted to reach a wet floor edge. The crew records what was removed for later finish work.

4. Dry and verify materials

   Equipment placement changes when a cavity remains damp. The technician adjusts airflow to reach the affected layer.
