Extract escaped condensate
Liquid water from a mini split leak can collect at the wall base. The crew extracts it and looks for a path beneath trim. The wall base may hide water behind shoe molding, so the technician checks that edge.
-
Map the hidden wet area
Wetness can remain after dripping stops. The technician measures concealed surfaces before selecting drying equipment. A stopped leak can leave moisture inside porous material, so the crew tests beyond the puddle.
-
Address soaked materials
A soft ceiling section can need removal after a leak. The crew keeps people clear of unsafe areas and documents what comes out. The opening is limited to material that needs access, while photographs record its condition.
-
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.
