How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Yale

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

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

3. Remove material that holds water

   Soaked insulation may block a ceiling cavity from drying. The crew removes material when its condition calls for it.

4. Dry and verify materials

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