How AC Leak Into Wall Water Removal Works in Kempton

1. Extract the escaped water

   A technician first removes visible liquid from the Kempton floor. Recovery tools then work along the edges where condensate collected.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Floor seams and baseboards can conceal an AC overflow path. Moisture mapping shows where the liquid traveled.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Porous material that cannot dry safely is taken out before closing the drying phase. Rebuild follows later.

4. Dry and verify materials

   Equipment placement changes when a cavity remains damp. The technician adjusts airflow to reach the affected layer.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A ceiling cavity can hold condensate beyond the visible stain. Drying equipment and progress readings address the absorbed moisture.

• Turn off the AC from a dry control if safe.
• Leave wet wall switches and receptacles untouched.
• Do not drill into the wall to release water.
• Move dry items away from the baseboard if safe.
• Record where the first stain or puddle appeared.
