How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Otter

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet material. Prompt extraction reduces the liquid left inside an AC closet floor.

1. Extract the escaped water

   An attic overflow may drip into a room below. The crew captures surface water before evaluating the ceiling material.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Floor seams and baseboards can conceal an AC overflow path. Moisture mapping shows where the liquid traveled.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Porous material that cannot dry safely is taken out before closing the drying phase. Rebuild follows later.

4. Dry and verify materials

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

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

In colder regions, a closet unit may be used only part of the year. A new puddle still calls for extraction and drying.
