How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Bozeman

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

   Pooling beneath an air handler cabinet needs access before drying begins. The crew extracts reachable water and checks neighboring flooring.

2. Map the wet boundary

   A closet wall can absorb condensate on its hidden side. The crew checks both faces when access allows.

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

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