How Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Works in Cannon

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

   A wall-mounted unit can leak behind the finish. Readings at several heights help trace how far water moved. Measurements down the wall help distinguish one drip track from a wider damp cavity.

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

   After extraction and material removal, the crew tracks framing and subfloor moisture. Rebuild is considered when drying is complete. Framing and subfloor measurements help decide when the structure can move to rebuild.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Condensate trapped under flooring does not disappear when a puddle is wiped away. A crew checks the layers below and dries the affected structure. Readings at the subfloor help show whether drying reached below the finish.

• Turn off cooling if the air handler keeps leaking.
• Keep hands clear of wet equipment controls and power cords.
• Remove dry belongings from the closet only if the floor is safe.
• Do not stack damp boxes against the wall.
• Photograph the closet floor, threshold, and affected items before calling for cleanup.
