How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in San Patricio

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 San Patricio floor. Recovery tools then work along the edges where condensate collected.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Floor seams and baseboards can conceal an AC overflow path. Moisture mapping shows where the liquid traveled.

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 San Patricio materials. Repeat readings show whether moisture is dropping.
