How Attic AC Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Mexico
-
Extract escaped condensate
Water that reached adjacent rooms is removed before drying equipment is set. A moisture map shows where extraction must extend. Extraction reaches wet spots beyond the unit when condensate has moved into a second room.
-
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
Water that passed through dirty cavities can require sanitizing. The technician evaluates the affected surfaces during cleanup. When water crossed dirty surfaces, the cleanup plan accounts for those conditions.
-
Dry and check progress
Air movement and dehumidification dry the remaining structure. Follow-up readings show whether the plan is working. The crew compares new readings with the initial map so hidden pockets are not overlooked.
