How AC Drain Line Clog Overflow Cleanup Works in Sloan

1. 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.

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

   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.

4. Dry and check progress

   After extraction and material removal, the crew tracks framing and subfloor moisture. Rebuild is considered when drying is complete. Framing and subfloor measurements help decide when the structure can move to rebuild.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

If a ceiling is bulging, stay clear of it. The crew can assess the water safely and dry the structure after saturated materials are addressed. Do not enter the room beneath a sagging ceiling.

• Turn off the AC at the thermostat if water is still spilling from the unit.
• Keep people away from wet outlets, cords, and equipment controls.
• Move small dry belongings away from the damp floor without crossing standing water.
• Photograph the pan, puddle, and stained surfaces before cleanup begins.
• Call an HVAC technician for the clogged drain and call the water damage crew for extraction.
