Does clearing the drain dry the floor?
Clearing the obstruction stops new condensate from spilling. Water already in a floor seam or wall base still needs extraction and drying. The crew checks those materials after the HVAC technician handles the drain.

Water held in a platform or under flooring may drain out slowly after the unit stops. A new puddle also calls for an HVAC check to verify the source. The drying technician measures the wet route rather than relying on the surface alone.

No. The escaped water can remain in floors or walls until a restoration crew dries them.
