What Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Includes in Somerset
A soggy floor edge can stay wet after the obvious puddle is gone. In Somerset, 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.
Call about the water once a ceiling stain or floor puddle appears. An HVAC technician still needs to address the source before the unit runs again.
