How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Cayce

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

1. Extract the escaped water

   A technician first removes visible liquid from the Cayce 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

   A ceiling below an attic AC unit needs readings across the wet span. Drying is complete when the targeted materials reach an appropriate condition.
