What Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Includes in Mount Vision
Photos of the initial leak path and drying measurements help record the Mount Vision loss. The insurer decides coverage under the policy.
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.
A sound AC unit does not prove the structure is dry. In Mount Vision, restoration measurements show whether condensate remains in building materials.

How Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Works in Mount Vision
-

-
Remove material that holds water
