Extract escaped condensate

-
Map the hidden wet area
Moisture readings follow the path from the AC to ceilings, walls, and floors. The visible stain is only a starting point. A reading above the stain helps determine whether insulation remains wet against ceiling framing.
-
Address soaked materials
Water that passed through dirty cavities can require sanitizing. The technician evaluates the affected surfaces during cleanup. When water crossed dirty surfaces, the cleanup plan accounts for those conditions.
-
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.
