How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Prescott

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

   Water trapped against trim can keep moving through a room. The crew removes bulk moisture before setting drying equipment.

2. Map the wet boundary

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

3. Remove material that holds water

   Soaked insulation may block a ceiling cavity from drying. The crew removes material when its condition calls for it.

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.
