How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Trego

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 Trego floor. Recovery tools then work along the edges where condensate collected.

2. Map the wet boundary

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

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

   After extraction, controlled air movement removes remaining moisture. The crew checks the building before finish work starts.
