How AC Leak Into Wall Water Removal Works in Pheba

1. Extract the escaped water

   A technician first removes visible liquid from the Pheba floor. Recovery tools then work along the edges where condensate collected.

2. Map the wet boundary

   The technician marks affected layers so progress checks return to the same points. That record helps track drying.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Trim can be lifted to reach a wet floor edge. The crew records what was removed for later finish work.

4. Dry and verify materials

   After extraction, controlled air movement removes remaining moisture. The crew checks the building before finish work starts.

• Record where the first stain or puddle appeared.
