What Mini Split Leak Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Ross
Photos of the initial leak path and drying measurements help record the Ross loss. The insurer decides coverage under the policy.
A mini split indoor head sits high on a wall, so a condensate leak can travel far before it reaches the floor. Water may run behind the mounting plate or along the wall face, entering paint seams and trim. The floor puddle alone does not show the full wet area.
Turning off the air conditioner can stop fresh condensate from forming. It cannot remove moisture already beneath carpet, so the crew checks those layers.
