How AC Leak Into Wall Cleanup Works in Eva

1. Extract escaped condensate

   A ceiling drip may create a floor puddle below it. The crew removes liquid water first, then assesses materials above and beneath the room. If a ceiling has dripped onto furnishings, those wet surfaces are documented before equipment moves in.

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

   Wet carpet pad may hold water against the subfloor. The restoration technician evaluates whether it can be dried safely. Pad soaked by condensate can remain wet even after carpet extraction, requiring a material decision.

4. Dry and check progress

   Air movement and dehumidification dry the remaining structure. Follow-up readings show whether the plan is working. The crew compares new readings with the initial map so hidden pockets are not overlooked.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

An air handler can keep feeding a wet area while it runs. Turn off the AC when safe, get HVAC service, and begin water removal. Water extraction begins once the area is safe to enter.

• Stop cooling if the stain expands while the AC runs.
• Keep clear of wet switches and receptacles on the affected wall.
• Move dry furniture away from the partition if safe.
• Do not paint over damp drywall or seal the baseboard gap.
• Photograph the stain and call for wall moisture assessment and drying.
