How Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Works in Bald Knob

1. Extract escaped condensate

   Water that reached adjacent rooms is removed before drying equipment is set. A moisture map shows where extraction must extend. Extraction reaches wet spots beyond the unit when condensate has moved into a second room.

2. Map the hidden wet area

   A wall-mounted unit can leak behind the finish. Readings at several heights help trace how far water moved. Measurements down the wall help distinguish one drip track from a wider damp cavity.

3. Address soaked materials

   Water that passed through dirty cavities can require sanitizing. The technician evaluates the affected surfaces during cleanup. When water crossed dirty surfaces, the cleanup plan accounts for those conditions.

4. Dry and check progress

   Drying continues until readings support that the affected materials are dry. The crew records progress for the loss file. Recorded progress shows when materials stopped holding excess moisture from the AC leak.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. An AC leak may leave insulation wet after the room looks dry. Call for moisture checks and drying. The crew records the affected footprint and checks it during the dry-out.

• Turn off cooling if the air handler keeps leaking.
• Keep hands clear of wet equipment controls and power cords.
• Remove dry belongings from the closet only if the floor is safe.
• Do not stack damp boxes against the wall.
• Photograph the closet floor, threshold, and affected items before calling for cleanup.
