How AC Leak Into Wall Water Removal Works in Caledonia

1. Extract the escaped water

   A mini split drip may run down a wall to the floor. The technician removes collected water at the wall base.

2. Map the wet boundary

   The technician marks affected layers so progress checks return to the same points. That record helps track drying.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Trim can be lifted to reach a wet floor edge. The crew records what was removed for later finish work.

4. Dry and verify materials

   Air movers and dehumidifiers support evaporation from wet Caledonia materials. Repeat readings show whether moisture is dropping.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wet building materials can stay damp behind cabinets or finished walls. A crew opens or removes material when needed for safe drying.

• 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.
