How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Merrimac

A soaked carpet pad traps more liquid than the carpet surface suggests. The crew removes or dries affected layers according to their condition.

1. Extract the escaped water

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

2. Map the wet boundary

   Floor seams and baseboards can conceal an AC overflow path. Moisture mapping shows where the liquid traveled.

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

   Equipment placement changes when a cavity remains damp. The technician adjusts airflow to reach the affected layer.
