How Mini Split Leak Water Damage Cleanup Works in Union

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

   Meter readings outline which Union building materials are still damp. The crew compares the readings with nearby dry surfaces.

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

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

• 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.
