How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Westlake

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

   Water trapped against trim can keep moving through a room. The crew removes bulk moisture before setting drying equipment.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Meter readings outline which Westlake building materials are still damp. The crew compares the readings with nearby dry surfaces.

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

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