About 37% of housing units in the listed ZIP codes predate 1980. Building layers can vary, so the technician checks the actual wet assembly. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Santa Maria was built in the 1980s. An AC drain routed through an interior space can leak near a wall. HVAC work fixes the drain; restoration handles the wet finish.
In a mixed climate, an AC leak can occur during any cooling period. The wet wall needs the same measured response. If the AC has leaked into flooring, an owner can photograph the initial condition before extraction. The crew then records moisture.
