How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Shell
A soaked carpet pad traps more liquid than the carpet surface suggests. The crew removes or dries affected layers according to their condition.
-
Extract the escaped water
A technician first removes visible liquid from the Shell floor. Recovery tools then work along the edges where condensate collected.
-
Map the wet boundary
The technician marks affected layers so progress checks return to the same points. That record helps track drying.
-
Remove material that holds water
Porous material that cannot dry safely is taken out before closing the drying phase. Rebuild follows later.
-
Dry and verify materials
After extraction, controlled air movement removes remaining moisture. The crew checks the building before finish work starts.
