How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Lottie

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

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

2. Map the wet boundary

   Drywall below a mini split may hold water beneath intact paint. Readings help decide whether the cavity needs access.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Trim can be lifted to reach a wet floor edge. The crew records what was removed for later finish work.

4. Dry and verify materials

   The technician records progress during the dry out. Those notes describe the work for the homeowner and an insurance claim.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Approximately 80% of homes in the selected ZIP area are owner occupied. Homeowners can keep drying records with any insurance claim. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Lottie was built in the 1980s. A ceiling below attic equipment may show a narrow stain despite broad wet insulation. Readings establish the real boundary.

Weather changes do not dry a closed cavity by themselves. Targeted airflow and dehumidification may be needed. If the AC has leaked into flooring, an owner can photograph the initial condition before extraction. The crew then records moisture.
