How AC Leak Into Wall Cleanup Works in Bonaparte

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

   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

   A soft ceiling section can need removal after a leak. The crew keeps people clear of unsafe areas and documents what comes out. The opening is limited to material that needs access, while photographs record its condition.

4. Dry and check progress

   Fans move air over accessible surfaces while dehumidifiers remove moisture from the room. The technician watches concealed areas. Airflow reaches exposed wet surfaces while humidity control supports the room as a whole.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wet drywall can lose strength and remain damp behind paint. A technician checks the condition before deciding what can be dried. Damaged board may need opening before the cavity can dry.

• 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.
