How AC Drain Line Overflow Cleanup Works in Catawba
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.
-
Extract escaped condensate
The crew removes standing water before it seeps into more flooring layers. Extraction may include wet carpet or a low spot beneath the air handler. Removing surface water early helps protect carpet backing and nearby trim from another cooling cycle.
-
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.
-
Address soaked materials
If a wall cavity remains damp, an opening can allow drying air to reach it. The material condition guides removal. A damp cavity may need airflow after damaged wall board is opened in the affected section.
-
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.
