How AC Leak Into Wall Water Removal Works in Minto

1. Extract the escaped water

   A technician first removes visible liquid from the Minto floor. Recovery tools then work along the edges where condensate collected.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Meter readings outline which Minto building materials are still damp. The crew compares the readings with nearby dry surfaces.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Opening a wall base can expose wet framing after an air handler overflow. Access decisions follow the moisture map.

4. Dry and verify materials

   After extraction, controlled air movement removes remaining moisture. The crew checks the building before finish work starts.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet material. Prompt extraction reduces the liquid left inside an AC closet floor.

• Turn off the AC from a dry control if safe.
• Leave wet wall switches and receptacles untouched.
• Do not drill into the wall to release water.
• Move dry items away from the baseboard if safe.
• Record where the first stain or puddle appeared.
