How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Lothair

Water under trim can spread laterally while the air conditioner keeps running. Shut the unit off safely and start extraction.

1. Extract the escaped water

   An attic overflow may drip into a room below. The crew captures surface water before evaluating the ceiling material.

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 Lothair materials. Repeat readings show whether moisture is dropping.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Attic insulation can hold condensate during the first warm spell. A crew checks the ceiling cavity, not just the paint.
