What Mini Split Leak Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Tickfaw
Water from mini split leak water damage cleanup can follow trim and seams into concealed layers. A Tickfaw crew measures the actual wet area before equipment goes in.
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.
Turning off the air conditioner can stop fresh condensate from forming. It cannot remove moisture already beneath carpet, so the crew checks those layers.
