How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Covington

1. Extract the escaped water

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

2. Map the wet boundary

   The technician marks affected layers so progress checks return to the same points. That record helps track drying.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Opening a wall base can expose wet framing after an air handler overflow. Access decisions follow the moisture map.

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.
