When an air handler leaks into a flat-roofed building in Oil Center, LA, a local crew arrives fast to stop the water and dry the structure, following IICRC-standard methods to prevent further damage.
Technicians locate the leak at the air handler, clear the blocked condensate drain line, and ensure the float switch and pan are functioning correctly. This stops water flow at its origin to prevent more damage.
The crew extracts standing water and may open up soaked ceiling drywall or remove affected closet materials in Oil Center buildings. This step is crucial to reach trapped moisture within the wall or floor framing.
High-powered air movers and dehumidifiers are placed to dry the structure. Technicians take daily moisture readings in the affected area until the materials reach a specific, verified dryness target.
