How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Lorimor

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

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

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers support evaporation from wet Lorimor materials. Repeat readings show whether moisture is dropping.
