How Mini Split Leak Cleanup Works in Neola

1. 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.

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

   Wet carpet pad may hold water against the subfloor. The restoration technician evaluates whether it can be dried safely. Pad soaked by condensate can remain wet even after carpet extraction, requiring a material decision.

4. Dry and check progress

   The crew checks moisture across the affected ceiling and nearby materials. Equipment stays focused on areas still wet. Drying tools can be adjusted when one part of the ceiling responds more slowly.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A mini split leak may stay hidden behind trim. Moisture mapping finds the wet route so drying can reach more than the surface. The wall base needs inspection if the indoor unit dripped above it.

• Stop the mini split if water is dripping from the indoor head.
• Keep wet plugs, outlets, and controls untouched.
• Move furniture away from the wall if the floor is safe.
• Put a container beneath the drip without blocking access to the wet wall.
• Photograph stains and call for extraction and structural drying.
