How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Empire

Condensate in insulation can remain after the ceiling stops dripping. A technician checks the cavity instead of relying on the surface stain.

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

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

3. Remove material that holds water

   A damp carpet pad may need to come out before the subfloor can dry. The technician evaluates contamination and saturation.

4. Dry and verify materials

   After extraction, controlled air movement removes remaining moisture. The crew checks the building before finish work starts.
