How Mini Split Leak Cleanup Works in Westerlo

1. Extract escaped condensate

   When a drain pan spills, extraction limits the water that could spread. Wet floor coverings are checked for trapped moisture. A pan spill above a room can feed several low spots; each puddle gets assessed.

2. Map the hidden wet area

   An air handler leak may travel under flooring. The crew tests the subfloor and nearby trim for moisture. Water under a closet threshold may follow seams that cannot be seen from above.

3. Address soaked materials

   Wet carpet pad may hold water against the subfloor. The restoration technician evaluates whether it can be dried safely. Pad soaked by condensate can remain wet even after carpet extraction, requiring a material decision.

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

Soaked insulation above a room can hold water against framing. The crew removes damaged material when needed and dries what remains. Removing saturated layers can expose framing for air movement.

• Stop the mini split if water is dripping from the indoor head.
• Keep wet plugs, outlets, and controls untouched.
• Move furniture away from the wall if the floor is safe.
• Put a container beneath the drip without blocking access to the wet wall.
• Photograph stains and call for extraction and structural drying.
