How AC Drain Line Overflow Cleanup Works in Clear Lake

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.
