How AC Drain Line Overflow Cleanup Works in Old Lyme
A mini split leak may stay hidden behind trim. Moisture mapping finds the wet route so drying can reach more than the surface. The wall base needs inspection if the indoor unit dripped above it.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Dry and check progress
The crew checks moisture across the affected ceiling and nearby materials. Equipment stays focused on areas still wet. Drying tools can be adjusted when one part of the ceiling responds more slowly.
