How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in North Hills

A dry looking wall face can conceal a wet backside. Moisture mapping helps the technician avoid leaving damp layers closed in.

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

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

3. Remove material that holds water

   Equipment placement changes when a cavity remains damp. The technician adjusts airflow to reach the affected layer.
