How AC Leak Into Wall Cleanup Works in West Halifax

1. Extract escaped condensate

   Pooled water at the closet threshold is taken up with extraction tools. The technician checks nearby flooring for water that traveled out of sight. In a closet loss, the crew checks whether water crossed the doorway into the hall.

2. Map the hidden wet area

   The technician checks insulation above a ceiling mark and drywall around it. Measurements show which materials need drying. Different readings across the board can show whether the overflow spread sideways in the attic.

3. Address soaked materials

   The crew separates materials that can dry from those too damaged to remain. Rebuild follows the dry-out stage. The technician notes which materials were removed and which remain for the dry-out.

4. Dry and check progress

   Fans move air over accessible surfaces while dehumidifiers remove moisture from the room. The technician watches concealed areas. Airflow reaches exposed wet surfaces while humidity control supports the room as a whole.

• Keep clear of wet switches and receptacles on the affected wall.
