How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Colstrip

Wet building materials can stay damp behind cabinets or finished walls. A crew opens or removes material when needed for safe drying.

1. Extract the escaped water

   A mini split drip may run down a wall to the floor. The technician removes collected water at the wall base.

2. Map the wet boundary

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

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

   A ceiling below an attic AC unit needs readings across the wet span. Drying is complete when the targeted materials reach an appropriate condition.
