How Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Works in Admire

1. Extract the escaped water

   Pooling beneath an air handler cabinet needs access before drying begins. The crew extracts reachable water and checks neighboring flooring.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Drywall below a mini split may hold water beneath intact paint. Readings help decide whether the cavity needs access.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Loose ceiling drywall should be assessed from a safe position. Removal may be needed when material is unstable or saturated.

4. Dry and verify materials

   The crew monitors flooring and wall edges instead of relying on a dry appearance. Final measurements establish the condition.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Condensate in insulation can remain after the ceiling stops dripping. A technician checks the cavity instead of relying on the surface stain.

• Turn off the air conditioner from a safe dry control.
• Do not reach into a wet equipment cabinet.
• Keep boxes and fabrics away from the damp threshold.
• Leave wet plugs or outlets untouched.
• Note whether water reached the adjoining room.
