What Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Includes in Molena
Water from air handler closet leak cleanup can follow trim and seams into concealed layers. A Molena 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.
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.
