How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Murrieta

   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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers support evaporation from wet Murrieta materials. Repeat readings show whether moisture is dropping.
