How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Montpelier

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

   A technician first removes visible liquid from the Montpelier floor. Recovery tools then work along the edges where condensate collected.

2. Map the wet boundary

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

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers support evaporation from wet Montpelier materials. Repeat readings show whether moisture is dropping.
