How AC Drain Line Overflow Cleanup Works in Shaw

An air handler can keep feeding a wet area while it runs. Turn off the AC when safe, get HVAC service, and begin water removal. Water extraction begins once the area is safe to enter.

1. Extract escaped condensate

   Pooled water at the closet threshold is taken up with extraction tools. The technician checks nearby flooring for water that traveled out of sight. In a closet loss, the crew checks whether water crossed the doorway into the hall.

2. Map the hidden wet area

   An air handler leak may travel under flooring. The crew tests the subfloor and nearby trim for moisture. Water under a closet threshold may follow seams that cannot be seen from above.

3. Address soaked materials

   Saturated insulation may be removed so framing can dry. Damaged drywall is opened only where the wet condition calls for access. Removing insulation exposes wet framing and allows the drying equipment to work on the cavity.

4. Dry and check progress

   A floor may feel dry while the layer below remains damp. Repeat measurements help prevent an early finish to the dry-out. Floor layers are checked again before finish work begins over the affected area.
