How Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Works in Webster

1. Extract the escaped water

   A mini split drip may run down a wall to the floor. The technician removes collected water at the wall base.

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

   A damp carpet pad may need to come out before the subfloor can dry. The technician evaluates contamination and saturation.

4. Dry and verify materials

   A ceiling below an attic AC unit needs readings across the wet span. Drying is complete when the targeted materials reach an appropriate condition.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A dry looking wall face can conceal a wet backside. Moisture mapping helps the technician avoid leaving damp layers closed in.

• Turn off the air conditioner from a safe dry control.
• Do not reach into a wet equipment cabinet.
• Keep boxes and fabrics away from the damp threshold.
• Leave wet plugs or outlets untouched.
• Note whether water reached the adjoining room.
