How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Hempstead

1. Extract the escaped water

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

2. Map the wet boundary

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

3. Remove material that holds water
