How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Columbia
Condensate in insulation can remain after the ceiling stops dripping. A technician checks the cavity instead of relying on the surface stain.
-
Extract the escaped water
A technician first removes visible liquid from the Columbia floor. Recovery tools then work along the edges where condensate collected.

Map the wet boundary
The technician marks affected layers so progress checks return to the same points. That record helps track drying.

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.

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