What Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Includes in Pattersonville
Water from air handler closet leak cleanup can follow trim and seams into concealed layers. A Pattersonville crew measures the actual wet area before equipment goes in.
Air handler closets leave little room to see behind or beneath the equipment. Condensate may collect along the back wall, soak a platform and slip under the threshold into a hallway. The first visible puddle may be outside the closet.
When the drain pan spills into a closet, HVAC work stops the cause. Water removal begins with the adjoining floor and wall base.
