How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Richvale

-
Extract the escaped water
Carpet can hold more liquid than the top feels like. Extraction tools pull water from the textile and pad area.

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

Remove material that holds water
Porous material that cannot dry safely is taken out before closing the drying phase. Rebuild follows later.
-
Dry and verify materials
After extraction, controlled air movement removes remaining moisture. The crew checks the building before finish work starts.
