What AC and HVAC Condensate Leak Water Cleanup Includes in Lewis
A Lewis crew uses meters during ac and hvac condensate leak water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
A clogged condensate drain or overflowing pan releases water from the air handler. An attic unit can drip through insulation into a ceiling; a closet unit wets wall bottoms. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because ceiling drywall, attic insulation, closet flooring, and framing hold hidden moisture.
The source and the damage may need different workers. For an overflowing fixture, plumbing work prevents more water; technicians then dry the subfloor and adjacent rooms.
