How AC Drain Pan Overflow Cleanup Works in Mulga

1. 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.

2. Map the hidden wet area

   The crew checks rooms next to the AC source and below attic equipment. Photos and readings record the initial footprint. The map records dry comparison areas as well as affected surfaces for later checks.

3. Address soaked materials

   If a wall cavity remains damp, an opening can allow drying air to reach it. The material condition guides removal. A damp cavity may need airflow after damaged wall board is opened in the affected section.

4. Dry and check progress

   Drying continues until readings support that the affected materials are dry. The crew records progress for the loss file. Recorded progress shows when materials stopped holding excess moisture from the AC leak.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A mini split leak may stay hidden behind trim. Moisture mapping finds the wet route so drying can reach more than the surface. The wall base needs inspection if the indoor unit dripped above it.

• Switch off cooling if the pan is full or water is spilling.
• Avoid touching the pan or nearby wiring when the area is wet.
• Move furniture away from a stained ceiling or dripping spot.
• Place a container under a drip only if the ceiling remains sound and the area is safe.
• Photograph the pan and the room below, then call for water removal.
