How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Alcalde

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 Alcalde 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

   Loose ceiling drywall should be assessed from a safe position. Removal may be needed when material is unstable or saturated.

4. Dry and verify materials

   The crew monitors flooring and wall edges instead of relying on a dry appearance. Final measurements establish the condition.

Intermittent AC cycles can hide a slow pan leak. Moisture mapping shows what stayed wet between cycles. If the AC has leaked into flooring, an owner can photograph the initial condition before extraction. The crew then records moisture.
