How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Lake

A ceiling cavity can hold condensate beyond the visible stain. Drying equipment and progress readings address the absorbed moisture.

1. Extract the escaped water

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

2. Map the wet boundary

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

3. Remove material that holds water

   Porous material that cannot dry safely is taken out before closing the drying phase. Rebuild follows later.

4. Dry and verify materials

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