How AC Leak Into Wall Cleanup Works in Glen Haven

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

   An air handler leak may travel under flooring. The crew tests the subfloor and nearby trim for moisture. Water under a closet threshold may follow seams that cannot be seen from above.

3. Address soaked materials

   The crew separates materials that can dry from those too damaged to remain. Rebuild follows the dry-out stage. The technician notes which materials were removed and which remain for the dry-out.

4. Dry and check progress

   The crew checks moisture across the affected ceiling and nearby materials. Equipment stays focused on areas still wet. Drying tools can be adjusted when one part of the ceiling responds more slowly.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Standing water gives porous materials more time to absorb it. Early extraction helps keep the footprint from expanding. A smaller wet footprint usually means fewer materials need attention.

• Stop cooling if the stain expands while the AC runs.
• Keep clear of wet switches and receptacles on the affected wall.
• Move dry furniture away from the partition if safe.
• Do not paint over damp drywall or seal the baseboard gap.
• Photograph the stain and call for wall moisture assessment and drying.
