How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Stratford

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet material. Prompt extraction reduces the liquid left inside an AC closet floor.

1. Extract the escaped water

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

2. Map the wet boundary

   A closet wall can absorb condensate on its hidden side. The crew checks both faces when access allows.

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

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