How Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Works in Denio

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

   A wall-mounted unit can leak behind the finish. Readings at several heights help trace how far water moved. Measurements down the wall help distinguish one drip track from a wider damp cavity.

3. 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.

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

A stain can hide water on the back of ceiling board. Prompt extraction and measured drying reduce the time those materials stay damp. A hidden cavity can hold moisture longer than the painted face suggests.

• Turn off cooling if the air handler keeps leaking.
• Keep hands clear of wet equipment controls and power cords.
• Remove dry belongings from the closet only if the floor is safe.
• Do not stack damp boxes against the wall.
• Photograph the closet floor, threshold, and affected items before calling for cleanup.
