How AC Leak Into Wall Water Removal Works in Putnam

1. Extract the escaped water

   Pooling beneath an air handler cabinet needs access before drying begins. The crew extracts reachable water and checks neighboring flooring.

2. Map the wet boundary

   The technician marks affected layers so progress checks return to the same points. That record helps track drying.

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

   Equipment placement changes when a cavity remains damp. The technician adjusts airflow to reach the affected layer.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Condensate in insulation can remain after the ceiling stops dripping. A technician checks the cavity instead of relying on the surface stain.

• 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.
