What Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Includes in Cuba
Ceiling or wall cavities may need access if water is trapped. The crew selects the response to air handler closet leak cleanup from the conditions found.
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.

-
