How Mini Split Leak Cleanup Works in Port Aransas

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

   After extraction and material removal, the crew tracks framing and subfloor moisture. Rebuild is considered when drying is complete. Framing and subfloor measurements help decide when the structure can move to rebuild.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. An AC leak may leave insulation wet after the room looks dry. Call for moisture checks and drying. The crew records the affected footprint and checks it during the dry-out.

• 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.
