How AC Leak Into Wall Cleanup Works in Minco
-
Extract escaped condensate
Liquid water from a mini split leak can collect at the wall base. The crew extracts it and looks for a path beneath trim. The wall base may hide water behind shoe molding, so the technician checks that edge.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Dry and check progress
A floor may feel dry while the layer below remains damp. Repeat measurements help prevent an early finish to the dry-out. Floor layers are checked again before finish work begins over the affected area.
