How AC and HVAC Condensate Leak Water Cleanup Works in Lecompte

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Pin and pinless meters show whether the Lecompte floor still holds water below its finish.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

4. Dry and verify

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

Wood, plaster and concrete can hold moisture longer than carpet. Repeated measurements tell the team when dense materials are actually dry.

• 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.
