Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet material. Prompt extraction reduces the liquid left inside an AC closet floor.

1. Extract the escaped water

   Carpet can hold more liquid than the top feels like. Extraction tools pull water from the textile and pad area.

2. Map the wet boundary

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

3. Remove material that holds water

   Opening a wall base can expose wet framing after an air handler overflow. Access decisions follow the moisture map.

4. Dry and verify materials

   The crew monitors flooring and wall edges instead of relying on a dry appearance. Final measurements establish the condition.
