How AC Leak Into Wall Cleanup Works in Gray

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

   Wetness can remain after dripping stops. The technician measures concealed surfaces before selecting drying equipment. A stopped leak can leave moisture inside porous material, so the crew tests beyond the puddle.

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

   Drying continues until readings support that the affected materials are dry. The crew records progress for the loss file. Recorded progress shows when materials stopped holding excess moisture from the AC leak.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. An AC leak may leave insulation wet after the room looks dry. Call for moisture checks and drying. The crew records the affected footprint and checks it during the dry-out.

• 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.
