What Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Includes in Aledo
A soggy floor edge can stay wet after the obvious puddle is gone. In Aledo, extraction tools remove liquid before controlled drying.
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.
A mini split can drip behind a wall finish. The cooling specialist corrects the unit, and the drying crew evaluates the hidden wet area.

-
Extract the escaped water
