How AC Leak Into Wall Cleanup Works in Maynard

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

   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.

3. 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.

4. Dry and check progress

   Drying continues until readings support that the affected materials are dry. The crew records progress for the loss file. Recorded progress shows when materials stopped holding excess moisture from the AC leak.

• Keep clear of wet switches and receptacles on the affected wall.
• Move dry furniture away from the partition if safe.
