HVAC Leak Water Damage Questions in Attapulgus
Why measure moisture after extraction in Attapulgus?
Visible water removal does not show what remains inside a floor or wall. Readings direct drying.
Does a Attapulgus ceiling stain show all the damage?
No. Water may travel along joists, and insulation may be wet beyond the visible mark.
Can towels dry a Attapulgus air handler leak?
Towels remove surface water. They cannot establish that flooring or a wall cavity is dry.
What should a Attapulgus caller describe?
Name the AC location, wet rooms, any ceiling sag and any water near electrical fixtures.

Keep photos, HVAC findings, extraction notes and moisture readings. Coverage depends on the policy, so check with your own insurer.
