How AC Leak Into Wall Cleanup Works in Fowlerville

1. Extract escaped condensate

   The crew removes standing water before it seeps into more flooring layers. Extraction may include wet carpet or a low spot beneath the air handler. Removing surface water early helps protect carpet backing and nearby trim from another cooling cycle.

2. 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.

3. Address soaked materials

   If a wall cavity remains damp, an opening can allow drying air to reach it. The material condition guides removal. A damp cavity may need airflow after damaged wall board is opened in the affected section.

4. Dry and check progress

   A floor may feel dry while the layer below remains damp. Repeat measurements help prevent an early finish to the dry-out. Floor layers are checked again before finish work begins over the affected area.
