How AC and HVAC Condensate Leak Water Cleanup Works in Whitewater

1. Remove standing water

   Pumps clear deep water in a Whitewater basement, followed by extractors for the thin layer left on floors.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   The crew compares wet material readings with a dry area of the same building.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Dirty water on porous materials changes the work: contaminated pieces usually come out.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers encourage evaporation while dehumidifiers capture moisture from the air.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A humid room slows evaporation from wet framing. LGR dehumidifiers pull moisture from room air as air movers lift it off surfaces.

• Switch off the cooling system to stop condensate production.
• Turn off cooling if water is near wiring or a sagging ceiling.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
