How Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Works in Shawneetown

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

   Drywall below a mini split may hold water beneath intact paint. Readings help decide whether the cavity needs access.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Porous material that cannot dry safely is taken out before closing the drying phase. Rebuild follows later.

4. Dry and verify materials

   After extraction, controlled air movement removes remaining moisture. The crew checks the building before finish work starts.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Humid indoor air slows evaporation from wet drywall. Dehumidifiers and air movement support a measured drying plan.

• 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.
