How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Portola

1. Extract the escaped water

   A technician first removes visible liquid from the Portola 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

   Soaked insulation may block a ceiling cavity from drying. The crew removes material when its condition calls for it.

4. Dry and verify materials

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