-
Extract escaped condensate
Liquid water from a mini split leak can collect at the wall base. The crew extracts it and looks for a path beneath trim. The wall base may hide water behind shoe molding, so the technician checks that edge.
-
Map the hidden wet area
An air handler leak may travel under flooring. The crew tests the subfloor and nearby trim for moisture. Water under a closet threshold may follow seams that cannot be seen from above.
-
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.
-
Dry and check progress
A floor may feel dry while the layer below remains damp. Repeat measurements help prevent an early finish to the dry-out. Floor layers are checked again before finish work begins over the affected area.
