What Mini Split Leak Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Cairo
A soggy floor edge can stay wet after the obvious puddle is gone. In Cairo, extraction tools remove liquid before controlled drying.
A mini split indoor head sits high on a wall, so a condensate leak can travel far before it reaches the floor. Water may run behind the mounting plate or along the wall face, entering paint seams and trim. The floor puddle alone does not show the full wet area.
When the drain pan spills into a closet, HVAC work stops the cause. Water removal begins with the adjoining floor and wall base.
