How Mini Split Leak Water Damage Cleanup Works in Stehekin

1. Extract the escaped water

   A technician first removes visible liquid from the Stehekin 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

   Soaked insulation may block a ceiling cavity from drying. The crew removes material when its condition calls for it.

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

Standing pan water may carry dirt into porous finishes. The crew assesses water condition before deciding what material can remain.

• Switch off the mini split using a safe dry control.
• Avoid touching wet electrical outlets below the unit.
• Move dry furnishings out of the drip path if safe.
• Do not remove the indoor head or open its casing.
• Photograph the drip and the wall below it.
