How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Oceano

1. Extract the escaped water

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

2. Map the wet boundary

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

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

   Equipment placement changes when a cavity remains damp. The technician adjusts airflow to reach the affected layer.
