What Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Includes in Helix
Water from air handler closet leak cleanup can follow trim and seams into concealed layers. A Helix crew measures the actual wet area before equipment goes in.
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.
An HVAC technician clears a blocked condensate drain in Helix. The water damage crew extracts the overflow and measures flooring that absorbed it.
