How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Linthicum Heights

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

   Carpet can hold more liquid than the top feels like. Extraction tools pull water from the textile and pad area.

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

   Loose ceiling drywall should be assessed from a safe position. Removal may be needed when material is unstable or saturated.

4. Dry and verify materials

   The crew monitors flooring and wall edges instead of relying on a dry appearance. Final measurements establish the condition.
