How HVAC Leak Water Damage Works in Sims

Wet building materials can stay damp behind cabinets or finished walls. A crew opens or removes material when needed for safe drying.

1. Extract the escaped water

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

2. Map the wet boundary

   The technician marks affected layers so progress checks return to the same points. That record helps track drying.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Soaked insulation may block a ceiling cavity from drying. The crew removes material when its condition calls for it.

4. Dry and verify materials

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