How AC and HVAC Condensate Leak Water Cleanup Works in Ocean City

1. Remove standing water

• Switch off the cooling system to stop condensate production.
• Turn off cooling if water is near wiring or a sagging ceiling.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
