How Mini Split Leak Cleanup Works in Kress

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

   The crew checks rooms next to the AC source and below attic equipment. Photos and readings record the initial footprint. The map records dry comparison areas as well as affected surfaces for later checks.

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

If a ceiling is bulging, stay clear of it. The crew can assess the water safely and dry the structure after saturated materials are addressed. Do not enter the room beneath a sagging ceiling.

• Stop the mini split if water is dripping from the indoor head.
• Keep wet plugs, outlets, and controls untouched.
• Move furniture away from the wall if the floor is safe.
• Put a container beneath the drip without blocking access to the wet wall.
• Photograph stains and call for extraction and structural drying.
