How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Charleston

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

2. Map the wet boundary

   Drywall below a mini split may hold water beneath intact paint. Readings help decide whether the cavity needs access.

3. Remove material that holds water

   A damp carpet pad may need to come out before the subfloor can dry. The technician evaluates contamination and saturation.

4. Dry and verify materials

   A ceiling below an attic AC unit needs readings across the wet span. Drying is complete when the targeted materials reach an appropriate condition.
