How AC Drain Line Overflow Water Removal Works in Dover
-
Extract the escaped water

Map the wet boundary
Drywall below a mini split may hold water beneath intact paint. Readings help decide whether the cavity needs access.
-

- Stay away from wet wiring, outlets and the equipment cabinet.
- Place belongings away from the damp floor without crossing wet electrical areas.
- Do not reopen the drain or dismantle the unit.
- Photograph the visible spill and note when the water was first seen.
