How AC Leak Into Wall Water Removal Works in Mount Pleasant

1. Extract the escaped water

   An attic overflow may drip into a room below. The crew captures surface water before evaluating the ceiling material.

   Drywall below a mini split may hold water beneath intact paint. Readings help decide whether the cavity needs access.

4. Dry and verify materials

   Equipment placement changes when a cavity remains damp. The technician adjusts airflow to reach the affected layer.

• 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.
