What Air Handler Closet Leak Cleanup Includes in Taylor
Photos of the initial leak path and drying measurements help record the Taylor 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.
When the drain pan spills into a closet, HVAC work stops the cause. Water removal begins with the adjoining floor and wall base.
