How AC Leak Into Wall Cleanup Works in Union

1. Extract escaped condensate

   Pooled water at the closet threshold is taken up with extraction tools. The technician checks nearby flooring for water that traveled out of sight. In a closet loss, the crew checks whether water crossed the doorway into the hall.

2. Map the hidden wet area

   The crew checks rooms next to the AC source and below attic equipment. Photos and readings record the initial footprint. The map records dry comparison areas as well as affected surfaces for later checks.

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

   After extraction and material removal, the crew tracks framing and subfloor moisture. Rebuild is considered when drying is complete. Framing and subfloor measurements help decide when the structure can move to rebuild.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A stain can hide water on the back of ceiling board. Prompt extraction and measured drying reduce the time those materials stay damp. A hidden cavity can hold moisture longer than the painted face suggests.

• 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.
