How AC Leak Into Wall Water Removal Works in Nicktown

1. Extract the escaped water

   Carpet can hold more liquid than the top feels like. Extraction tools pull water from the textile and pad area.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Meter readings outline which Nicktown building materials are still damp. The crew compares the readings with nearby dry surfaces.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Loose ceiling drywall should be assessed from a safe position. Removal may be needed when material is unstable or saturated.

4. Dry and verify materials

   Air movers and dehumidifiers support evaporation from wet Nicktown materials. Repeat readings show whether moisture is dropping.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wet building materials can stay damp behind cabinets or finished walls. A crew opens or removes material when needed for safe drying.

• Turn off the AC from a dry control if safe.
• Leave wet wall switches and receptacles untouched.
• Do not drill into the wall to release water.
• Move dry items away from the baseboard if safe.
• Record where the first stain or puddle appeared.
