What Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Includes in Jadwin
An HVAC repair stops fresh water but does not dry the room. Restoration after air handler closet leak cleanup includes extraction and repeat moisture readings.
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.
Two trades may be needed for one leak: cooling equipment service and structural drying. Each focuses on a different part of the loss.
