How Mini Split Leak Water Damage Cleanup Works in Copake Falls

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

   A closet wall can absorb condensate on its hidden side. The crew checks both faces when access allows.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Opening a wall base can expose wet framing after an air handler overflow. Access decisions follow the moisture map.

4. Dry and verify materials

   After extraction, controlled air movement removes remaining moisture. The crew checks the building before finish work starts.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Standing pan water may carry dirt into porous finishes. The crew assesses water condition before deciding what material can remain.

• Switch off the mini split using a safe dry control.
• Avoid touching wet electrical outlets below the unit.
• Move dry furnishings out of the drip path if safe.
• Do not remove the indoor head or open its casing.
• Photograph the drip and the wall below it.
