How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Empire

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet material. Prompt extraction reduces the liquid left inside an AC closet floor.

1. Extract the escaped water

   A mini split drip may run down a wall to the floor. The technician removes collected water at the wall base.

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

   The technician records progress during the dry out. Those notes describe the work for the homeowner and an insurance claim.
